About Dorchester
Dorchester is a quiet, close-knit village tucked into the rolling farmland of central Wisconsin. Located right along Highway 13, it offers a relaxed pace of life where neighbors know one another and open country views are never more than a few blocks away. While the village technically crosses the line between Clark and Marathon counties, everyday life feels seamless and grounded. It is the kind of welcoming spot where kids ride bikes down quiet streets and local gatherings bring everyone together.

Living here gives you small-town peace with easy access to nearby conveniences. Residents enjoy relaxing at Dorchester Park with its pond and walking paths, stopping by local taverns and diners, and celebrating every summer during Dorchester Days. Families are served by the neighboring Colby school system, and Highway 13 connects drivers quickly to job centers and shopping in Abbotsford, Marshfield, and Wausau. For anyone seeking an affordable, friendly rural community surrounded by classic Wisconsin dairy country, Dorchester offers a down-to-earth place to call home.
