Grafton, an award-winning community, is considered one of the most progressive communities in Wisconsin.  Grafton has been careful to retain its small town feel while becoming a regional retail destination.  In recent years, the Village has also successfully redeveloped its downtown and created a riverwalk along the adjacent Milwaukee River as an important natural amenity for its shoppers and residents. 

To complement the cultural, sports and economic advantages of being a part of Milwaukee Metropolitan area, Grafton families and visitors are also able to take advantage of its close proximity to Lake Michigan, world-class golf courses, and parks.  In the last few years, the Village has embraced its musical past by celebrating its link to the early 1900s recording of Blues artists for Paramount Records.
