The village of Rural, just south of Waupaca, is a State of Wisconsin designated Rustic Road. Known for its natural beauty and bending river this quaint settlement is rich in history. The history of this area is well-documented with some descendants of the original settlers still living nearby. Many of the earliest families are buried in a cemetery at the edge of the village, while new faces canoe on the Crystal River through the village all summer long. A step back, a slower pace & a reminder of life as it was can be found here, just a block off State Hwy 22. A 10 minute bike ride from Hartman's Creek State Park, a brisk walk to the Chain O' Lakes recreational area, or brief kayak trip from Long Lake will all lead home...to this historic house between the bridges of the Crystal River in the Yankee Village of Rural.
