About Haugen

Haugen is a quiet village in northwestern Wisconsin's Barron County, home to fewer than 300 residents. Located just north of Rice Lake along Highway 53 and Bear Creek, it offers a peaceful rural setting with easy access to larger retail and healthcare hubs nearby. The community got its start in the late 1800s as a railroad stop, and it still maintains that unhurried, friendly small-town feel today.

A big part of Haugen's charm is its Czech heritage, centered around the historic ZCBJ Hall and celebrated during the town's annual summer festival with fresh kolaches and polka music. Outdoor recreation is right outside your door, with local lakes, rivers, and wooded trails making it simple to hunt, fish, or snowmobile across all four seasons. For people looking for an affordable, tight-knit community surrounded by Northwoods scenery, Haugen provides a relaxing place to put down roots.
