Chilton is the county seat of Calumet County. This friendly small town brings travelers back again and again with its genuine Midwestern charm. Calumet County is a nature lover’s paradise. Located on the eastern shore of Lake Winnebago, the county is a beautiful landscape of rolling farms broken by the panoramic limestone cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment, and wetlands teeming with wildlife. Camp atop the bluffs at High Cliff State Park or Calumet County Park; both offer terrific lakeside views. Boating and fishing on Lake Winnebago are popular activities, with access to the big lake easy via four harbors and eight public boat landings. Explore underground caverns at Ledgeview Nature Center in Chilton or learn more about wildlife at the Brillion Nature Center.
