Soldiers Grove blends small-village ease with forward-thinking spirit, earning its “Solar Village” reputation after relocating to higher ground and encouraging solar design in the late 1970s. Today, Soldiers Grove offers everyday convenience, community pride, and instant access to the Driftless Area’s rolling hills and clear streams. The Kickapoo River meanders nearby for paddling and trout fishing, and hikers can reach sandstone bluffs and sweeping overlooks at Wisconsin DNR’s Wildcat Mountain State Park, an easy drive from town.
Families appreciate the strong local schools; the North Crawford School District serves the village and surrounding countryside with attentive class sizes, vibrant arts, and active extracurriculars. Library programs, youth sports, and year-round festivals keep calendars full, while county services and resources are close at hand through Crawford County and the UW–Madison Division of Extension – Crawford County.
Weekends bring farmers markets, orchard runs, and scenic drives along Highway 131. Nearby Viroqua adds dining, healthcare, and a lively arts scene, and Gays Mills is celebrated for its apple orchards and fall color. Outdoor enthusiasts prize four-season recreation, from snowshoeing and birding to summertime bike rides along quiet ridge roads.
Whether you’re moving for the schools, the outdoor lifestyle, or the village’s innovative energy legacy, Soldiers Grove makes everyday living feel both practical and inspiring.
