Gillett, WI

Tucked into the scenic countryside of Oconto County, Gillett is a quiet, welcoming community about 40 minutes northwest of Green Bay. The town got its start as a busy late-19th-century logging and railroad hub, and you can still feel that heritage along Main Street's historic storefronts and the old train depot. It offers a relaxed pace of living where neighbors know each other and local roots run deep.
