About Ellsworth

Ellsworth is a welcoming small town in western Wisconsin and the county seat of Pierce County. Set among rolling farmland and quiet hills, it sits about 40 miles east of the Twin Cities, making it an appealing option for anyone seeking small-town living within reach of major metro amenities. Several state highways meet right in town, giving residents a straightforward drive to River Falls, Prescott, and the scenic Mississippi River valley.

Ellsworth Town Hall

As the official Cheese Curd Capital of Wisconsin, Ellsworth takes genuine pride in its dairy heritage, anchored by the Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery and the popular Cheese Curd Festival each summer. Families are served by the local Ellsworth Community School District, and daily routines often center around the historic downtown square and Pierce County Courthouse. Outdoor enthusiasts have plenty to do year-round, from exploring local parks and nearby trout streams to riding hundreds of miles of interconnected snowmobile trails.
