For a small town, Kewaskum has a lot to keep you and your family entertained! The Milwaukee river runs blissfully through this little village, creating fantastic vistas all over and lots of picnic location choices. The sparkling river is nicely complemented by the rolling farmlands that make up much of the non-residential areas of Kewaskum.

Some historical facts: the village was named “Kewaskum” after a chief of the Potawatomi tribe of the same name. The name means “turning on his tracks,” which, in the context of the village, could also describe the horseshoe shape of the Milwaukee river in Kewaskum. The village is also referred to as the Gateway to the Kettle Moraine State Forest, as it is located at the base of the forest.
