Set in the rolling hills and country roads of Greater Green Bay, the village of Mishicot stands as a shining example of classic small-town Americana.

Although not officially founded until 1847, Mishicot can trace its roots back to the first sawmill built by Daniel Smith in 1844. And while times have changed since then, the residents of Mishicot take pride in creating a friendly and relaxed atmosphere for visitors stopping by for an afternoon or a lifetime.

Outdoor fun abounds in the Mishicot area. Enjoy a relaxing day of hiking on the scenic Ice Age Trail. Take a stroll through town and enjoy the covered bridge. Cast a line in pursuit of that trophy fish in the East Twin River as it meanders through the middle of town. Take a swing at a hole in one at Fox Hills Resort.

Stop at Village Park, located in the heart of town, and enjoy baseball, tennis, horseshoes, a climb on the Wooden Wonderland or a walk along the river's edge. Even hop aboard a snowmobile and take to the network of trails for some pulse-quickening fun.

If indoor fun is more your speed, take a look at the unique lineup of antique and gift shops that Mishicot has to offer. Built in 1905, the 15,000 square-foot Old School features one of the largest collections of Norman Rockwell paintings and plates, along with a large selection of Fontanini and Frances Hook collectibles. RiverEdge Galleries houses an ever-changing array of unique art and original paintings, featuring changing exhibitions by leading Wisconsin and national artists. Adjacent to the gallery is an award-winning sculpture landscaped garden overlooking the East Twin River.

And after a day of chasing birdies and pars on the golf course, pursuing that perfect gift addition for your home, or just meandering along the river, Mishicot's lineup of small-town dining experiences are sure to please, with everything from American home cooking to Italian pizza and pasta.

Mishicot's many festivals and events are sure to please. In early July, Mishicot Fest is held on the grounds of Fox Hills Resort, with an exciting fireworks show at night. On the last weekend in July, RiverFest entertains with its great food, live music and Sunday parade.
