McFarland Wisconsin

The Village of McFarland is located along U.S. Highway 51 and the east shore of Lake Waubesa. It is located directly south of Madison, 90 miles west of Milwaukee, 150 miles north of Chicago, 100 miles east of Dubuque, and 250 miles south of Minneapolis. The Village shares borders with the City of Madison to the north, the Town of Dunn to the west, south, and southeast, and the Town of Blooming Grove to the east. McFarland is located in an expanding urban area in Dane County, where growth and development has outpaced most other metropolitan areas in Wisconsin. A strong regional economy and higher educational opportunities have spurred much of this growth and expansion during the last decade. Total population, employment, and development are forecasted to continue growing in the region over next two decades, with McFarland positioned to accommodate some of this growth in a balanced, well-planned manner.

While maintaining a friendly, small-town atmosphere, McFarland also offers all the advantages of proximity to a large metropolitan area. McFarland supports a thriving business community and commerce park, three churches, a medical clinic, numerous service clubs and organizations, a public library, an indoor hockey facility and a curling club. The McFarland area boasts rich recreational opportunities for fishing, boating, picnicking, canoeing, hiking, swimming and biking. The city of Madison, just minutes away, offers a variety of educational and cultural opportunities, including many theatrical events, Concerts on the Square, Art Fair on the Square, the State Capitol and a myriad of offerings at the UW-Madison Campus.

McFarland lies one minute south of Madison’s Beltline Highway, four minutes from Interstate 90, 12 minutes from the Wisconsin State Capitol, 12 minutes from the University of Wisconsin, and 15 minutes from the Dane County Regional Airport.
