The Village of Marshall, Wisconsin, lies within Dane County, Wisconsin along the Maunesha (MAWN' - i - shaa) River. The 2,000 population was 3,432.

In June of 1837, 45 men forged their way from Milwaukee to Madison to begin construction of the new state capitol. Three of these men, Andrew & Zenas Bird and Aaron Petrie, made a mental note of an idyllic location to begin their new homes, but months of labor ended in October of 1838 when an autumn prairie fire destroyed a public building and the beginning of a sawmill. For more than a decade, the present day village was known as Bird’s Ruins.

As the surrounding area grew back and the nearby Watertown/Madison stretch grew in commercial and population travel, the region continued to attract interest from would-be residents looking for a suitable community to build their homes. Known throughout its history as a variety of names (Bird's Ruins, Medina, Hanchetville, and Howard City), the now thriving Bird's Ruins community was renamed in the mid-1880s by Madison Real Estate Samuel Marshall, who had purchased much of the land in the village from Asahel Anchett.

Located within a hotbed of high learning and a region known internationally for its undaunted pursuit of information and excellence, Marshall has always produced outstanding intellectuals. One graduate of the Marshall Schools and a descendent of Marshall pioneer E. B. Bigelow, James Wheelwright - under the pen name of Robert Banning - wrote the novel “All is not Butter” (Little, Brown & Company, Boston, 1954) based on a violent, countywide milk strike that centered Marshall in 1933.

Today, Marshall offers an enjoyable small-town atmosphere for both those who seek the rural life as well as those looking to work in - but regularly seek refuge from - the hectic pace of Madison, the state capital charged with a frenetic pace of government, academia and commerce. Nevertheless, along with that pace comes numerous opportunities for entertainment, fun, activities of all kinds, and shopping. Dane County, itself, is widely known for its natural beauty and unique natural features - and Marshall's residents delight in using their home town as a base to meander throughout the county, the Capital region and all of southern Wisconsin to enjoy nature at its best.
