Sometimes the smallest places offer the biggest experiences. A short drive from Madison, you’ll find a little community that feels a world away. Paoli is about as tiny as a town can be but it beckons visitors with interesting shops, a unique hotel, and plenty of small town charm. Read on to see why Paoli is one of Wisconsin’s best tiny towns.
Paoli is about 12 miles outside of Madison, and it’s one of the prettiest little towns in the area – it has a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
Paoli is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it a great starting point for outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and exploring the rolling hills of southern Wisconsin.
Paoli has a tight-knit and engaged community that values its historic heritage and natural beauty.
Many residents work together to preserve the character of the village and promote local businesses and art. It remains a peaceful and scenic retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.
