Baraboo Community

Home to 12,000 people, Baraboo is located 45 minutes northwest of Madison in south-central Wisconsin. Baraboo is two hours from Milwaukee and three hours from Chicago and Minneapolis/St. Paul.

The town's many turn-of-the-century homes built on hillsides are reminiscent of New England. St. Clare Hospital is situated atop a hill offering a splendid view of the rolling bluffs surrounding Devil's Lake.

• The historic Al Ringling Theater, where the Baraboo Theater Guild performs;
• Many excellent places to dine and shop;
• A seasonal farmers' market; and
• Summer concerts on the Square

The surrounding area offers numerous points of interest, including:

• Devil's Lake State Park, which features cross-country skiing, swimming, canoeing, rock climbing, biking, and hiking;
• Devil's Head and Cascade Mountain downhill ski areas;
• Circus World Museum;
