Addison balances open-country calm with practical convenience, offering wide skies, winding backroads, and quick connections to nearby centers like West Bend, Hartford, and Slinger in Washington County.

Outdoor time comes easy here.

You’re also within reach of the Ice Age National Scenic Trail, a glacially carved route showcased by the National Park Service. For a fascinating look at ancient effigy mounds, the DNR’s Lizard Mound State Park offers a quiet, reflective landscape. Community gatherings and major events unfold at the Washington County Fair Park & Conference Center, a regional hub for festivals, expos, and the annual fair. Birders and paddlers will appreciate easy day trips to the Horicon National Wildlife Refuge managed by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
