Adventures in Stockton
Small town - Big surprises
A quaint village with quite a past
Welcome home to the original Kraft Cheese plant, pioneering women, magnificent murals and much more. Originally a quiet farming community, the Village of Stockton was incorporated in 1890 due in large part to the Chicago Great Western Railroad Company establishing a stop here. The rails brought trailblazers whose ideas, businesses and beautiful Queen Anne architecture can still be experienced today, reminding us of the glamor and ingenuity of the Gilded Age. As part of the Driftless Area, Stockton is also home to beautiful rolling hills, scenic farmland and vistas that stretch far and wide. Plan your getaway and let the adventures begin.
