Community Life

Cultural arts, music, and dance concerts are offered year-around in the Ladysmith area. Nearly every weekend features a local fair or celebration. Ladysmith's Northland Mardi Gras is a popular feature in July with the unique and spectacular Venetian night parade on the Flambeau River.

Vibrant Economy

A dedicated skilled labor force is strongly evidenced in all categories of office, manufacturing, and professional services available in Ladysmith and the surrounding areas. Industry can be found in one of two modern and well developed parks on the South side of Ladysmith. Over $150 million in new industrial investment has occurred since 1995.

The Wisconsin Northwoods

Since the time of the great forests, when Rusk County was just starting to grow, this area has been one of the most beautiful in the state. With the coming of the lumber barons many small communities grew and then died when the logging industry dwindled. Ladysmith and Rusk County survived, and the beauty of the "olden days" is still here.
