Initially a milling village on the banks of the Baraboo River, Reedsburg
has experienced growth and change. It was established in the pioneer era
of the 1850s and is home to nearly 10,000 residents and various thriving
industries. Throughout history, the people of Reedsburg have created
conditions for economic success and overcoming setbacks. Today, visitors
are drawn to the city's historic downtown, with its specialty shops and
restaurants, as it has adapted to changing times. Once a railroad stop
on the Chicago and Northwestern line, Reedsburg is now the trailhead for
the 400 State Trail Bike Trail. Despite fires and floods, the community
has always shown an ability to adapt for success.
