What it’s like
The place. Mosel is a very small town in Sheboygan County, Wisconsin, where nearly everyone lives in a home they own. The population is older than in much of the country, and household incomes run a little below the county's. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and plenty of snow, while July is pleasantly warm and the year brings a moderate amount of rain and melted snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, and in the building trades. Several of the biggest workplaces in Mosel fit that pattern, among them Discovery Energy, a maker of power generators, and Buteyn-Peterson Construction Co, a road and bridge builder. Commutes tend to be short, and some people work from home.
Things to do. The John Michael Kohler Arts Center, a museum, is a short drive away, as is Fischer Creek State Recreation Area, a protected area for time outdoors. The Stefanie H. Weill Center for the Performing Arts, a theatre, is also a short drive away. For something farther afield, Road America, a race track, is a longer drive.
