Cooksville, “the town that time forgot,” was built before the Civil War on the New England model around the village green. Most of the 1840's houses surrounding the green still stand and are restored to their original quaint beauty. Go back in time and spend a day under the oak grove on the village green picnicking, playing croquet, bocce ball, softball, horseshoes, or flying kites.
Cooksville is home to what is probably the oldest continuously run general store in the state of Wisconsin. The Cooksville Store is open year round and offers a variety of grocery products and beverages as well as resale items.
The Cooksville Community Center, a non-profit corporation which was established in 1962 is housed in the Cooksville Schoolhouse on the Public Square. It serves as a focus for local activities such as educational programs, children's' activities, community meetings, garden and historic tours. The Community Center is also available for rent and is equipped with bathrooms, a kitchen and tables and chairs. The Public Square can be reserved in advance for outdoor activities such as wedding receptions, family picnics, etc.
