About Montello

As the seat of Marquette County, Montello is a relaxed, scenic small town built around the water. The Fox River winds straight through the middle of town, flowing past a historic granite quarry that has been transformed into a downtown park with cascading waterfalls. Between boating on Buffalo Lake, checking out the state's largest cottonwood tree downtown, and enjoying the peaceful pace, it offers a quiet central Wisconsin lifestyle close to nature.
