Spring Green

Wisconsin's Tony Award-winning arts town on the Wisconsin River

Spring Green is a village of about 1,600 people in the Driftless Area of Sauk County, where the hills roll but the glaciers never touched. It's home to American Players Theatre, winner of the 2026 Tony Award for Outstanding Regional Theatre, and to Taliesin, Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio for nearly 50 years. Downtown mixes century-old buildings with river-town food and drink, and the Wisconsin River runs along the edge of town for canoeing, kayaking, and sandbar afternoons all summer. These are the local favorites our community loves.
