The North Star of Dane County

The DeForest Area, the “North Star of Dane County” is an area with all the peace and quiet of rural Wisconsin and the convenient proximity to some of Wisconsin’s best attractions. Whether you plan to see the Wisconsin State Capitol in Madison or would like to spend some time in the Dells, we are conveniently located to make both places pleasurable. Family farms continue to line the highways to our Village. We pride ourselves on our community spirit and our know-your-neighbor approach to living. Many people are seeking this way of life, once believed to be lost, but still very much alive here in DeForest. While developers build more houses and condos, the Trustees and Village staff make sure we maintain our high quality of life and offer newcomers a true “home.”
