Chickasaw County pairs small-town ease with practical access to regional hubs. In county seat New Hampton, neighborhood parks, locally owned shops, and year-round events keep the calendar full, while quick drives to Charles City and Waverly expand options for work, arts, and college activities. The welcoming towns of Nashua and Fredericksburg add their own traditions, from community festivals to outdoor concerts, with county services and resources readily available through the official Chickasaw County government site and the City of New Hampton.
Outdoor time is easy to prioritize. The beloved Little Brown Church in Nashua is both a historic landmark and a gathering place, and the Cedar River offers paddling and fishing supported by the Chickasaw County Conservation Board and regional water-trail planning. Families appreciate strong local schools, including New Hampton Community School District, Nashua-Plainfield Community School District, and Turkey Valley Schools, known for hands-on learning, competitive athletics, and active fine arts. Health needs are met close to home at MercyOne New Hampton Medical Center, and a full slate of fairs, farmers’ markets, and youth programs keeps newcomers plugged in quickly.
