House Painters Serving Cross Plains, WI
Cross Plains sits about 12 miles west of Madison. Incorporated in 1920 from three earlier settlements — Cross Plains, Foxville, and Christina — the village was long known collectively as "Cross Plains Prairie" and was settled predominantly by German, Irish, and Norwegian immigrants. Its official motto is "Famous for Friendliness." The Ice Age Trail runs through the village, and Cross Plains sits in Wisconsin's Driftless Area, known for its unglaciated, hillier terrain.
