It’s Greater In Grafton

The secret to what makes Grafton great is simple: it’s the people. It’s those who live here, those who work here, and those who come to play here. Each person who gravitates toward Grafton brings their own personality and perspective, qualities that continually shape our ever-evolving community.

Located on Lake Michigan, just 20 miles north of Milwaukee and right off I-43, we’re easy to find but hard to forget. Grafton offers a mix of large retail stores and unique local shops, along with great restaurants and bars. Our many parks, trails, and rivers provide endless ways for outdoor enthusiasts to stay active. With numerous festivals, excellent schools, and a thriving economy, Grafton offers a welcoming and dynamic environment for residents, visitors, and businesses alike.
