Elkhorn, the county seat of Walworth County, blends small-city convenience with four-season fun. Anchored by a classic courthouse square and quick access to I-43, it sits minutes from the lake life of Lake Geneva and Delavan. Commuters appreciate quick connections along US-12 and Highway 67, while local shops and cafes keep daily errands close to home. Residents enjoy welcoming festivals, a walkable downtown, and the “Christmas Card Town” tradition. City services, parks, and community updates are easy to navigate through the City of Elkhorn.
All year, there’s something to do. The Walworth County Fair — one of Wisconsin’s largest — brings headline entertainment, livestock shows, and carnival energy to the fairgrounds each late summer. Weekends mean farmers markets, youth sports, and quick trips to Kettle Moraine trails near Whitewater, while concerts at nearby Alpine Valley add big-stage excitement. Summer lake days and winter snow sports are both close at hand, making it easy to plan spontaneous outings with family and friends.
Families value the strong academics and extracurriculars in the Elkhorn Area School District, and the Matheson Memorial Library offers classes, maker resources, and community programs. Neighborhood parks, from Sunset Park’s athletic fields to Harris Park’s open space, make after-school time easy, and locally owned eateries and coffee spots keep the downtown lively without big-city pace.
