About Waupun

Straddling Dodge and Fond du Lac counties in southern Wisconsin, Waupun offers a quiet, friendly small-town atmosphere with around 11,000 residents. Settled along the Rock River in the 1830s, the town has held onto much of its historic character over the years. You can still see that heritage in the peaceful residential streets and local landmarks, like the 1904 Carnegie library building that now houses the community museum.

One of Waupun’s most distinctive features is its impressive collection of outdoor bronze sculptures, including the famous End of the Trail statue set in Shaler Park. Families have access to the Waupun Area School District, and outdoor enthusiasts will love being right next door to Horicon Marsh, a sprawling wetland refuge that provides endless spots for hiking, paddling, and birdwatching.
