Welcome to Appleton, situated on the Fox River, 30 miles south of Green Bay and 100 miles north of Milwaukee. It is the sixth most populous city in Wisconsin. Appleton consistently ranks as one of the best places to live in the country because of good schools, safe neighborhoods, affordable homes and high-quality health care.

The largest employers are in the healthcare, paper and packaging, electrical and financial industries.

Claims to fame are the Hearthstone House, the first residence in the world powered by a centrally located hydroelectric station, and Harry Houdini's hometown.

There are many options for entertainment throughout the year including watching the Timber Rattlers minor leage baseball team, attending Octoberfest and Mile of Music festival, or catching a show at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center. Locals love the weekly Farmers Market downtown on College Ave.

Art in the Park is another popular event hosted by the Trout Museum of Art, near the Lawrence University campus.
