Heritage and nature together

The name might be a little tricky to pronounce (cos-key-osco), but it tells an important story. The county was named after Thaddeus Kosciuszko, a Polish nobleman and hero of the American Revolution. That’s also why the county seat is named Warsaw—the capital of Poland.

More than 100 lakes have shaped Kosciusko County’s culture as much as its geography. From being a playground for Hollywood stars, to a hideout for Capone and Dillinger during prohibition, lakes play a big part in forming Kosciusko County, which is now home to many moments for water lovers and land lovers alike with plenty of engaging experiences on board and on foot. Live Well in the Moment.

From the Wagon Wheel Center for the Arts  and its “theatre in the round” to the art galleries in the city, Warsaw is a place for enrichment and exploration.  Also considered the Orthopaedic Capital of the World, some of the largest manufacturers of Orthopaedics in the World are headquartered here, and offer tours.

Warsaw was named one of the Best Small Cities to Raise a Family by Forbes Magazine, and the City of Lakes welcomes you and your family to stay and play.
