About The Region

Walworth

For over 130 years, Walworth has been known for its tree-lined streets and relaxed pace of living. The charm of the downtown square, with its beautiful fountain, adds to the pleasure of spending an afternoon with friends. A chicken barbecue, old-fashioned ice cream social with homemade pies, and the famous corn and brat festival take place on the square in summer. People come from miles around to help celebrate these occasions, enjoying delicious food and helping to support the worthy sponsoring organizations.

Local residents are proud and supportive of their education system, recently completing a $15 million renovation/expansion project for Big Foot High School. The project included new art, music and science departments, as well as a new foyer and gymnasium.

Since 1973, Walworth has been the home to Kikkoman Foods, international producer of naturally brewed soy sauce and other sauces.

With its comfortable environment, hometown friendliness, and close proximity to Geneva Lake, Walworth is truly the gateway to all the lake has to offer...and much more!
