🚨County Facility Closures for March 16, Services Available Virtually
Marathon County is prioritizing community and employee safety as a significant winter storm continues to impact travel and local operations. As a result, all Marathon County offices located on the Lake View Campus, the Marathon County Courthouse, and Parks Administration offices will be closed to walk-in public traffic on Monday, March 16, 2026.
Presiding Judge Gregory Strasser has formally ordered the closure of all Marathon County Circuit Courts. All in-person hearings, trials, and court events scheduled for Monday, March 16, 2026, are cancelled and will be rescheduled. Additionally, any filing deadlines falling on this date will be extended to the next business day.
Although buildings will not be open to the public, County services will remain available by phone and virtual appointment throughout the day. Community members who need assistance are encouraged to contact departments directly. A department phone directory can be found at www.MarathonCounty.gov/departments.
