“Welcome to Cross Plains, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Wisconsin, founded in 1847. This quaint town of 3,538 residents boasts a rich history, being the hometown of renowned author H.P. Lovecraft’s close friend and fellow writer, August Derleth. Known for its picturesque landscapes and charming community, Cross Plains also has sister city ties with the German town of Waldsee, adding an international flair to its small-town charm.”
