About Edgerton

Edgerton is a welcoming community of roughly 6,000 residents located about thirty miles south of Madison. Situated right along Interstate 39/90, it offers an easy commute to Madison and Janesville while keeping a quiet, small-town rhythm. Downtown has a distinct historic feel, lined with classic brick storefronts and restored 19th-century tobacco warehouses that now host local businesses, cafes, and neighborhood spots.

Outdoor life centers on nearby Lake Koshkonong and the Rock River, which give locals quick access to boating, fishing, and watersports all summer long. The town also celebrates its local heritage through events like the annual Tobacco Days festival and connections to Sterling North, author of the classic childhood memoir *Rascal*. With neighborhood parks, a dedicated local school district, and affordable living within reach of the capital, Edgerton is an easy fit for anyone seeking a friendly, scenic home base.
