Why you'd want to live in Platteville

While one of the largest cities in Southwest Wisconsin, Platteville maintains its small town feel. Walk down Historic Main Street and you will discover many shopping and dining opportunities. You will also find City Park in downtown Platteville. City Park is the location of our popular summer concert series as well as the Saturday farmer’s market. Inside City Park, you will find the Veteran’s Honor Roll, a tribute to the local men and women who served in the military. Across from City Park is the City Municipal Building, which includes the Municipal Auditorium. The Municipal Auditorium is the home to the Platteville Community Theater and hosts other cultural events throughout the year. At the eastern end of Main Street is The Mining & Rollo Jamison Museums, where you can learn about the regional and mining history, including a trip down into the Bevans Lead Mine. via platteville.org
