About Cedarburg

Cedarburg (about 12,000 residents) is Ozaukee County's storybook town — a 19th-century mill town on Cedar Creek with one of Wisconsin's best-preserved historic downtowns: limestone woolen mills (shown in photo 1), the Cedarburg Mill and Pagoda, and a main street of indie shops, wineries, and festivals like the Strawberry Festival and Wine & Harvest Festival. Housing ranges from historic homes near the creek to subdivisions and estates on the outskirts, and the schools are among the state's best.
