Compare Oregon to Top 10 Best Places
At the time Oregon was founded, this town seven miles from state capital Madison had more horses than people (and it still hosts an annual horse parade). But now nearly 10,000 people call this affordable community home, many drawn by the solid schools. Like lots of towns in Wisconsin, Oregon is not very racially diverse, but there is some religious diversity: the Deer Park Buddhist Center and Monastery is located here. It’s headed by a Tibetan professor who taught at the nearby University of Wisconsin-Madison for three decades.

A Richland Center couple has been named one of four national Outstanding Young Farmers by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce. Ryan and Michelle Keller received the honor at a weekend event in Louisville.
The Kellers are partners in the Junction View Dairy, which has about 900 Holstein cows and 1,800 acres for crops. The candidates are judged on their agricultural careers, soil-and-water conservation practices, and civic contributions.
