About Merrillan

Merrillan is a quiet Jackson County village shaped by its roots as a 19th-century railway hub. Founded where two major train lines met, the community originally grew up around its busy union depot, local hotels, and trackside storefronts. That heritage is still easy to spot today in the town's open layout and relaxed, small-town atmosphere.

For anyone considering a move, Merrillan offers an affordable, low-key setting with easy access to the surrounding countryside. The village sits right at the crossroads of Highways 12, 95, and 27, making drives to neighboring hubs like Black River Falls simple and quick. Local students are served by the Alma Center-Humbird-Merrillan school district, and with nearby county forests, lakes, and regional trail systems right down the road, it makes a comfortable home base for outdoor enthusiasts.
