Seminary St

This rural area of southwestern Wisconsin centers on Richland Center and extends to the smaller communities of Boaz and Gillingham. Rolling hills, wooded slopes and the Pine River shape the landscape, with four-season weather that brings warm summers and cold, snowy winters. Richland Center has local history on view at the A.D. German Warehouse, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, as well as a compact downtown with independent shops, cafés and places to eat. Parks and river corridors offer room for walking, picnicking and outdoor recreation; check local facilities for playgrounds and dog-access rules. Daily errands and most trips are easiest by car, while rural roads make cycling a scenic option. The pace is quieter outside the center, where community events and local arts add activity through the year.
