                                                              Tucked into northern Clark County, Owen and Withee welcome you to its quiet and
                                                              friendly communities.  Owen and Withee are the little twin cities of Wisconsin. Although
                                                              two separate municipalities, the City of Owen and Village of Withee are located only
                                                              one mile apart, but operate and cooperate as one community.  Though small in size,
                                                              the Owen-Withee area is host to over 125 individual businesses that provide many unique
                                                              and exciting products and services for you to enjoy.  Many of these businesses are
                                                              located in the surrounding countryside and provide you an opportunity to enjoy the
                                                              scenic farms, woods, and rivers that we are graced with.  While visiting the area, take
                                                              a drive down the picturesque and historical Yellowstone Trail.   
                                                         
                                                             A proud tradition is apparent in both of these beautiful communities.
                                                             Graceful trees hover over the well maintained streets criss-crossing through
                                                             Owen-Withee.  These streets will lead you to beautiful parks, walking trails,
                                                             highly academic schools, shopping and dining.  Owen-Withee is a wonderful
                                                             place to live and work.  You will find that it is growing steadily with new
                                                             housing, quality education, and new businesses, yet still retains the warmth
                                                             and friendliness of a small town.
                                          
                                           The City of Owen was founded by the lumber baron, John S. Owen, in 1883,
                                                            and was incorporated in 1904. One of the most historical buildings remaining in our
                                                            community is the Old Woodland Hotel on Main Street built by the Owen Lumber Company
                                                            in the early 1900s. The historical Carriage House, along with the gymnasium, are being
                                                            refurbished.

In Owen, one might enjoy a nature walk in the majestic forests along the Popple River, a picnic at the Owen Park watching the colorful ducks or watching the sunset from the High Bridge. Owen offers a paved bike trail that leads to the village of Withee for the dedicated roller-bladers, bike riders, and walkers. Winter offers fantastic ski and snowmobile trails and sledding down Tennis Shoe Hill. Hunters and fisherman will benefit from the woodlands and multitude of lakes and streams in the area. For the avid golfer, Owen boasts a beautiful nine-hole golf course to challenge your talents.

Owen may be a small town in size, but if offers large opportunities. This community also has a friendly atmosphere, where there are no strangers, only smiles and genuine concern for each other. Owen welcomes visitors and new residents, so come see what's going on....in Owen!

The Village of Withee was founded in 1870, and named after a school teacher from Maine, W.H. Withee, and was incorporated as a village in 1901. The Soo Railroad brought in booming business to the area, developing into the principal shipping point for D.J. Spaulding Mills.  Withee retains all its small town charm with a friendly population of 507 people.

Located just off the Black River, Withee offers many opportunities for the outdoor enthusiast. The avid fisherman will find the perfect spot to fish. The North Woods offers many opportunities for those who enjoy hunting. For the active person, there is tennis, softball, biking, fishing, and snowmobiling.
