Jackson, Wisconsin is a small village in Washington County that punches above its weight when it comes to outdoor recreation and economic activity. Positioned about 30 miles northwest of downtown Milwaukee, the village gives residents easy access to a major metro area while maintaining a quieter, community-centered pace of life. I-41 connects commuters directly to Milwaukee, and a corridor of businesses along Industrial Drive provides local employment across manufacturing, distribution, and defense-related industries.
Jackson's 590-acre Jackson Marsh Wildlife Area draws outdoor enthusiasts year-round with hiking, fishing, cross-country skiing, and bird watching. The nearby Little Switzerland Ski Area adds a seasonal draw that sets this corner of Washington County apart from many Wisconsin communities of similar size. Jackson Park serves as the social heart of the village, hosting beloved annual events like the Raspberry Festival and the Oktoberfest Beer Garden.
