About

Sussex is a village located in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, 20 miles west of Milwaukee. As of the 2006 census estimate, the village had a total population of 9,908 and an area of approximately 7.24 square miles.

The Village of Sussex is dedicated to maintaining a "Small Town" atmosphere that highlights the historic roots of the village, while fostering a quality of life that includes an overall spirit of friendliness, availability of cultural and recreational opportunities.

The small village charm of Sussex is reflected in the historic buildings, as well as in the parks, hiking, biking, and skiing trails. Sussex Village Park, with its sports fields, open spaces, and summer activities, is a charming place to embark on the Bugline Trail. Trains once hauled Lannon Stone from the deep limestone pits which still operate today. A look down into the quarries from the trail is an impressive sight. Dense woods near the trail often hide the fact that much of the trail is through suburbs.
