The Ashland Area Chamber of Commerce staff welcomes you to take a sneak preview of the City of Ashland. We are excited about the many opportunities in Ashland. We have excellent schools, a regional healthcare facility, three medical clinics, a four-year private college, technical college, industrial park, and enterprise center.

Location, location, location...Ashland is located on the shores of the Chequamegon Bay on Lake Superior. We enjoy the beauty of the biggest fresh water lake and the Apostle Islands. Ashland is nestled between the Nicolet National Forest and the Chequamegon pronounced (sha-wam-é-gon) National Forest. Copper Falls State Park and Morgan Falls are only a short drive. You will experience history driving in Ashland. The Oredock is located on the east end of town. Main Street is home to several historic brownstone buildings and Chapple Avenue is a showcase of historic homes, all of which have interesting stories. The murals around town depict actual people from Ashland's past. The Depot building is currently going through a 3.5 million dollar restoration from a horrific fire that destroyed the building in April of 2000.

Ashland has an excellent quality of life, diverse economy base, and beautiful surroundings.
