A warm welcome and an invitation to visitors! River Falls is not a typical, sleepy little farm
town. Although, we do have many of the desirable qualities of small
town living, there is
The old-fashioned theatre, with discounted prices and first-run movies is a good example of how River Falls manages to have a foot in both the past and the present.

In the ensuing years, the school has grown to join 12 other University or Wisconsin system campuses, and has enrollment of over 6,000 students. The University of Wisconsin - River Falls provides the city with a lively intellectual interchange as well as both cultural and financial benefits. Its well-trained graduates also help draw clean, high-tech industry to River Falls. Why the great attraction to our little town? We offer the best of both worlds: splendid opportunity for education in both our first-rate public school system and University of Wisconsin - River Falls; a charming downtown now the focus of new energy and awaiting rebirth as the heart of our community; and a beautiful location among the rolling hills of the western Wisconsin but near the robust metropolitan Twin Cities area. Visit the friendly community with a future as well as a past. You will make friend here, whether you come for a day, a year, or the rest of your life. Written by: Katie Chaffee
