Renowned for its beautiful scenery, Dane County, Wisconsin, was established upon an isthmus located between Lakes Monona and Mendota in the south-central part of Wisconsin.. Blessed with four distinct seasons, a total of five area lakes and over 200 parks supply an abundance of year-round outdoor activities, from hiking, biking, swimming and sailing along with cross-country skiing, snow sailing, and ice fishing.

Groups of Native American known simply as "mound builders" occupied the area that today is Dane County, Wisconsin between 1000 B.C. and 1000 A.D. Of the many effigy mounds once surrounding the many local lakes, only a few remain to remind us of this unique culture. By the time the Yankee settlers began to arrive in the 1800s, the Winnebago Nation called the area home.

Dane County, like the rest of Wisconsin, abounds in natural wonders. The most renowned and popular spelunker cave in the upper Midwest, Cave of the Mounds, lies just off U.S. Highways 18/151 in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, just east of the state capitol, Madison. The United States Department of the Interior and the National Park Service designated Cave of the Mounds a National Natural Landmark because the site exhibits "exceptional value as an illustration of the nation’s natural heritage and contributes to a better understanding of man’s environment." Commonly referred to as the "jewel box" of America’s major caves, for the variety and delicacy of its formations, Cave of the Mounds is recognized by the Chicago Academy of Sciences as "the significant cave of the upper Midwest."

Visitors and residents, alike, find the best of all worlds in Wisconsin's vibrant capital city (Madison) and picturesque surrounding towns: natural beauty and outdoor recreation, stimulating cultural offerings, distinctive restaurants and shops, and youthful spirit. Urban culture, natural beauty, small town charm - the Dane County, Wisconsin, and the Greater Madison, Wisconsin, area offers it all!
