About Us

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

            On behalf of the Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commerce, welcome to our beautiful rural region. The charm of the area is matched only by the warmth and friendliness of its people. Ellsworth is part of the metropolitan area, at the intersections of 4 major highways 10, 63, 65 & 72, just 30 miles from the Twin Cities. Our community is located geographically in the center of Pierce County. Platted in 1962 and incorporated under Wisconsin laws in 1887, Ellsworth serves as the County Seat. Our County Courthouse, built in 1905, is modeled after the state capital in Madison and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Ellsworth was named after Civil War Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth; his likeness symbolizes the strength of our striving community.  In 1984 Governor Anthony S. Earl proclaimed Ellsworth the Cheese Curd Capital of Wisconsin.

            Ellsworth is host to many celebrations and festivals each year including the annual Cheese Curd Festival held the last full weekend in June. This festival showcases cheese curds that are produced here at the Ellsworth Cooperative Creamery. Other annual events include the Spring Fever EXPO in March, Polka Fest and Old Car Club Show in July, the Pierce County Fair in August, the Pumpkin Party in the Park in October, the Tree of Spirit Lighting in November and Santa Days in December. The Chamber is proud to promote events that provide networking opportunities for businesses and individuals. Being an event volunteer enhances both business and community. Joining the Chamber makes good business sense for you; the Chamber is here to assist our members.

            Local Governments strive to keep taxes reasonable and work with the Chamber to nurture a business friendly atmosphere. Ellsworth's great location is near many recreational options, including the Mississippi and the St. Croix rivers, state and local parks, hiking trails and golf courses. Ellsworth is the hub of Pierce counties 210 miles of snowmobile trails. Several nearby streams and rivers provide outstanding trout fishing.  Ellsworth features two parks; Summit Park, home of the Ellsworth Hubber’s Baseball Team and Bob Young Ball field and the East End Park located on Hwy 10 which is a favorite spot for tourists and motorists passing thru Ellsworth.

The Chamber if proud to offer this publication to you, we hope it will serve you well. We also offer other literature and our monthly newsletter. Visit our Chamber Office located at 111 N. Chestnut St. (Phone: 715-273-6442) or visit our website at www.ellsworthchamber.com

 Ellsworth is indeed a wonderful place to live and work. We welcome you to our community.

Sincerely,

Peggy A. Nelson

President, Ellsworth Area Chamber of Commerce
