Sullivan offers a relaxed, close-knit pace with quick connections to bigger-city energy. Set in Jefferson County just off the I-94 corridor, daily life flows easily between farm fields, woodlands, and small businesses, with straightforward commutes to Madison, Milwaukee, and lake-country amenities in Oconomowoc.
Outdoor time comes naturally here. Cyclists and runners tap the multi-community span of the Glacial Drumlin State Trail, managed by the Wisconsin DNR and known for gentle grades and wildlife views along its wetlands and prairies. Explore its route via the official Glacial Drumlin page. Hunters, birders, and paddlers head to the Rome Pond Wildlife Area for waterfowl, oak savanna, and quiet backwaters. Weekend explorers can range a bit farther to Aztalan State Park, where ancient earthworks meet riverside hiking, or the Kettle Moraine State Forest – Southern Unit for rolling moraine trails, kettles, and kettle lakes that shine in all four seasons. Closer to home, the Jefferson County Parks Department maintains riverside launches, playgrounds, and winter trails that make spontaneous outings easy.
Families appreciate the School District of Jefferson’s academic and extracurricular offerings, from early literacy at Sullivan’s elementary campus through championship-caliber arts and athletics at the secondary level. Housing spans classic farmhouses, village bungalows, and newer builds on larger lots, all while keeping grocery runs, coffee stops, and hardware errands refreshingly simple.
