About Erin, WI

Erin is the oldest incorporated town in Washington County and can be found in the beautiful kettle moraine area of southeastern Wisconsin. A variety of topography makes Erin unique – the town has the highest point in southeastern Wisconsin, on which the Basilica of Holy Hill, National Shrine of Mary rests.

With approximately 3,790 residents, Erin is a mix of agricultural and residential, but is predominately rural. The town includes the unincorporated hamlet of Thompson. There are several lakes in the town including Druid, Loew’s, Murphy, McConville, Malloy, Beck and Hickey Lake. The two major rivers in Erin are the Oconomowoc and Ashippun Rivers. Smaller rivers and creeks include the Little Oconomowoc River, Flynn Creek and Mason Creek.

While the town holds several events throughout the year, fittingly, Erin is known regionally for its annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, in which people come from all around the area to both partake and be spectators for the festivities – whether they are Irish by blood or by heart.
