About Black Earth

Tucked into the rolling hills of the Driftless Area about 20 miles west of Madison, Black Earth offers a relaxed, small-town pace with an easy commute to the city. Life here revolves around the outdoors and a close-knit community, with world-class trout fishing along Black Earth Creek right in your backyard. On weekends, neighbors catch Home Talent baseball games, head to the annual Field Days festival, or explore the surrounding bluffs. With scenic countryside all around and families served by the Wisconsin Heights School District, it is a quiet, welcoming spot to put down roots.
