In the 1840's, many people from the Saxon state of Germany and others from surrounding European areas settled in what is known today as the Town of Centerville, Wisconsin, USA.

They were attracted to the land of rich resources and the similarity to the homeland they left behind.

This heritage remains strong in the Centerville community today, reflected by it's people, landscapes, and buildings.

Who and Where We Are
