What it’s like
The place. Ettrick is a small village in Trempealeau County, Wisconsin, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and fewer people live in poverty than many would expect for a place this size. Winters are long and cold, with a good deal of snow, and summers are warm.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Across Trempealeau County, some of the largest workplaces are Ashley Furniture in Arcadia, Pilgrim's Pride, and the Galesville-Ettrick-Trempealeau School District. Few people work from home, and the typical commute is a fairly long one.
Things to do. The Trempealeau River is the best known of the nearby places, and it is a longer drive away. Perrot State Park and Great River Bluffs State Park are protected areas, also a longer drive away, for walking and taking in the bluffs along the Mississippi. The Minnesota Marine Art Museum is another longer drive for a day indoors.
