About Marathon County

Marathon County: Big City Amenities with a Small Town Atmosphere!

Located at the crossroads of Highway 29 and Interstate 39 in north central Wisconsin, Marathon County is a beautiful area with an abundance of natural beauty blended with a vibrant urban center. 

We are the center for provision of legal, financial, retail, advertising and health care services for the Central Wisconsin region.  In addition to a strong advanced metal manufacturing base, we also boast a growing primary and acute health care industry with two major health care systems located here.  Marathon County has a highly skilled workforce that is well known for its work ethic. 

For those seeking a less metropolitan experience, Marathon County also has several smaller communities spread throughout the county as well as rural residences and farms.  You will find community supported agriculture farms, a strong locally grown effort and many farmer's markets which feature organic and locally grown food.
