A WELCOME FROM OUR CHAMBER PRESIDENT The Markesan Chamber of Commerce welcomes you and your family to
our grand city. Markesan, the largest city within
the school district, offers true community living. Students and
parents have the opportunity to join together in school
curriculum and activities resulting in a strong bond. Our
hometown business district is complete with medical facilities,
financial institutions, public library and unique shopping. The
Historical Society Museum shows the price this community has in
its heritage and allows the visitor to leisurely visit the past
of a city that once was the richest in the nation.
We're situated in an area of prime agricultural land which helps
to support the canning industry. The pride of the family farm
remains solid in our community. Other manufacturing companies
found here specialize in products from plastics to metals and
offer year-round employment. In 2000, our school district
completed an extensive addition to our existing high school. The
state-of-the art facility offers a comfortable place for our
youth to receive the finest education. Markesan Resident Home,
Barrett House and Samuel's Grove can accommodate the needs of
our senior citizens.
The Markesan area provides sport and recreation of all kinds.
Little Green Lake, known for its trophy-size Muskies, will
satisfy your fishing and boating desires. Excellent hunting
opportunities, numerous snowmobile trails and a variety of
events sponsored by our local service organizations help to keep
weekends very active.
As you browse through the pages of our web-site, you will become
aware of what is near and dear to the hearts of our residents.
True, we aren't part of the urban sprawl or shopping malls. What
we ARE is something the big cities and suburbs want.
We have clean streets, good schools, churches and stores within
walking distance. We have parks just up the block and neighbors
who know each other. We have lower taxes, lower crime rates, and
lower cost of living. The list goes on. Yes ...we DO have what
you want and "we like it here!"
Markesan, a great place to visit and even a better place to
live.
