About Cambridge

Set along Koshkonong Creek about twenty-five miles east of Madison, Cambridge is a small village of around 1,600 people. Its downtown was rebuilt after a fire in 1910 and today features local shops, cozy cafes, and historic brick storefronts. Outdoor spots are everywhere you look. Ripley Park on Lake Ripley offers a great beach for swimming and boating in the summer, while CamRock County Park draws hikers and mountain bikers to its trails along the water.

With a community pool, local theater productions, a good library, and quiet neighborhood streets, it is an easy place to settle into if you want small-town living close to Dane County jobs.
