The birthplace of famed twentieth century architect Frank Lloyd Wright, Richland Center is a city filled with historical charm, a strong flourishing business climate and lots of community spirit and activities.

Nestled amid the high hills and narrow valleys of Southwestern Wisconsin, Richland Center is one of the state's most scenic areas. Although Richland Center is a part of the driftless area of the state, the glaciers have never covered the land here.
