The first settlers arrived in Willard around 1907. In its early days, Willard was considered a logging area. Throughout the years, the land was converted and used for agricultural purposes. Willard is the home to award-winning North Hendren Cheese Factory, which specializes in Blue and Gorgonzola Cheeses. Willard is widely known for its annual Polka Fest the last weekend in June. There are numerous facilities that enhance the area such as Rock Dam and Mead Lake, two good fishing and recreational camping lakes within 7 miles of Willard. Snowmobile and ATV trails lead into Willard during the winter recreational seasons. Be sure to visit Settlers Park.
