Nelson, WI

Nelson sits along the Mississippi River in western Wisconsin, tucked against towering bluffs just across the water from Wabasha, Minnesota. It is a small, easygoing community of a few hundred people where daily life revolves around the river and surrounding nature. You will find folks stopping by the historic Nelson Cheese Factory for lunch or ice cream, and heading across the bridge whenever they need everyday conveniences in Wabasha. If you are looking for quiet living, scenic river valley views, and friendly neighbors, Nelson has plenty of charm.
