Cadott, “halfway between the Equator and the North Pole,” is in the heart of Wisconsin’s vacation crossroads, located at the junctions of State Highways 27 and 29 and the west end of the Partner 29 corridor along the Old Yellowstone Trail. Cadott was named after Jean Baptiste Cadotte, the son of a fur trader who established the first trading post here in the early 1800s. The first permanent settler was Robert Marriner, who built the log cabin and sawmill in 1865, beginning the lumbering and mill industries, which served as the foundation of Cadott’s first growth. Today this charming community is home to two internationally recognized music festivals, Rock Fest and Country Fest, as well as a wide variety of places to visit, including Riverview Park, which has interpretive signs providing an insight into the unique rock formations along the Yellow River, and the Cadott Area Historical Museum and Baker School. In addition, visit the ZCBJ Lodge Hall and Bohemian Cemetery, which are listed on the State and National Registries of Historic Places; the Wisconsin Veterans Tribute; good restaurants; a cheese house; a motel; and businesses along Main Street.
