Welcome to Stoddard Wisconsin

Mark Twain described Mississippi River towns as

“comely, clean, well built, pleasing to the eye, and cheering to the spirit.”

We agree.

Our historic river town appeal makes Stoddard a special place along one of the most unique scenic byways in North America. Come and see!

Our History

Because this part of Southwestern Wisconsin was without glaciers, we are known today as the ‘Driftless Area.’ Early explorers came here in the 1700’s, and Wisconsin became the 30th state in 1848.
