      Nice little town. People are friendly and the service at area businesses are great. With Little Green Lake right outside of town, it's a great place to visit and relax.

      I liked how close the community was in Markesan. Everyone knew each other and looked out for each other. The public schools are rated in the top four percent in Wisconsin.
