Princeton is priceless and one of those little towns that you leave knowing you’ll come back again. Set in a remote yet centrally located spot in Wisconsin just west of Green Lake, its location on the Fox River and near the Mecan River is destination enough for daytrip canoers, bikers, kayakers, hunters, fishermen, shoppers, diners and just about everyone! Downtown Princeton reveals cutting-edge boutiques that might easily be side-by-side retailers in one of Chicago’s hippest spots.

Many visitors drive to Princeton on Saturday to enjoy the largest outdoor flea market in Wisconsin where they find abundant treasures including candles, antiques, decorative garden sculptures, handcrafted furniture, spices, the freshest cheese around, clothing, plants, books and far too many trinkets to mention. After perusing the morning to early afternoon market most people head downtown or drive to some of the off the beaten path shops and attractions to experience the finest urban flair shops in the state. You’ll find hand blown glass, espresso and cappuccino, clothing with sass, jewelry and accessories, floral design shops, vintage goods, books and Willy Rae art, nuts and bolts, garden accessories, Amish furniture, yummy ice cream and more.

Princeton is also antique heaven for those who love objects with history. We have two large antique malls, both on Hwy 23 in Princeton that one could spend several hours just browsing and enjoying quality antiques. There are also several other antique/collectible shops you won’t want to miss either.

Put Princeton on your places to visit this year – many say that it is their favorite community in Wisconsin and we are sure you will agree.

Princeton is fortunate to have many Amish communities within a short driving distance. The Kingston, Dalton, Marquette and Red Granite area is home to several authentic Amish retail specialty shops selling fresh picked garden vegetables & fruits, flowers by the stem or basket, handcrafted boat covers and anything that follows the Go Green philosophy.  The Amish still follow the traditions of their ancestors in their daily living.  Horse-drawn buggies, kerosene lanterns, black dress clothing, bonnets and straw hats can still be seen today.  The Amish are known for their exceptionally well made wood furniture, cabinetry, baked goods, beautiful quilts and much more.  An entirely different way of life co-exists in this beautiful, rural area of southwest Green Lake County.  
Come...take a leisurely drive and see for yourself the uniqueness of Amish living!  Many specialty shops are here for your enjoyment.  Stop and visit...buy and take home a little bit of the Amish culture.  Fresh baked goods...pies, breads and doughnuts...bulk spices, wooden lawn furniture to enhance your home environment, fresh cheeses from the Amish co-op cheese factory and many more interesting stops are just waiting for you! The Amish businesses are usually open 5 days a week and are always closed on Thursday and Sunday which are their days of worship.
Two notes of caution: Please be courteous when following or passing the horse-drawn buggies and pedestrians on the highways. You will find that most Amish horsedrawn carriage drivers are exceptionally friendly and will wave to you as you pass.
The Amish culture and religious tenants prohibit the Amish people from willingly having their pictures taken. If you are a photographer you are welcome to photograph the horses, buggies, buildings and scenery, but please do not photograph the Amish people.  You will cause anxiety by doing so. Below is a list of current Amish specialty shops in Green Lake County. The Princeton Chamber of Commerce makes no guarantees for the accuracy of this list however we will guaranty that you'll thoroughly enjoy the views and experience.
