Chippewa Falls, WI - Small Town With A Big Heart 5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) Living in Chippewa Falls, WI has been a joy for me and my family. We moved here in the summer of last year, and can not think of living any place else but here. It is a small town just outside of the major city of Eau Claire, WI. We love the closeness of the community and the sma ...Read More ll town feel. The schools system is great and the neighborhood is quite.

There are so many things to do here in Chippewa Falls, WI.; from visiting historical landmarks to enjoying the taste of the local restaurants. As the seasons change here in Chippewa Falls, WI; so does the activities. In the summer and fall my family and I enjoy shopping and going to the Chippewa Family Restaurant. At the restaurant we can get breakfast, lunch or dinner; and get a taste of Wisconsin's infamous bratwurst's and cheeses.

Some of the best areas in Chippewa Falls, WI showcases the town's abundance of arts and culture. One place that my family and I enjoy is the Chippewa Falls Historical Walking Tour. During the tour you get to see some of the buildings still standing here in Wisconsin from the turn of the century. I really love the cultural diversity here as well, it is a great place to raise your kids. But don't think that it is just for families; the night life here is nice too! My husband and I have date night and spend time at The Rumor Mill Pub and Eatery. If you enjoy diversity, shopping, culture, and bratwursts...you will love it here in Chippewa Falls, WI. Read Less
