What it’s like
The place. Marshall is a village in Dane County, small enough that it feels like a close community. Most homes are lived in by their owners, and household incomes run a little below the county's. Winters are cold and snowy, with January the coldest month, while summers are warm, and the year brings a fair amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in shops and in manufacturing. The Marshall School District, Marshall Towne Millwork and Little Amerricka Amusement Park are among the largest workplaces in town. Commutes are fairly typical for the area, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. Little Amerricka is an amusement park in or beside town. A short drive away are Rock Lake, a lake, and Angell Park Speedway, a race track. For more of a day out, Lake Monona and Olbrich Botanical Gardens in the Madison area are a longer drive.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms across Dane County, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively moderate. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on Dane County and the Madison, WI metro.
