Ashippun is a town in Dodge County, Wisconsin, United States. The unincorporated communities of Alderley, Ashippun, & Old Ashippun are located in the town. The population was 2,308 at the 2000 census. The name Ashippun is of Ojibwe origin. It is derived from ajiopan "decayed lungs". Another theory derives the name from the Indian word for "raccoon", which is what the Indians called the river flowing through the eastern part of the town. The Menominee name of the village, Ǣhsepan, reflects that meaning. The Ojibway name meaning raccoon, is Esiban. Ashippun is the home of Honey of a Museum, or Honey Acres, a museum of beekeeping established in 1852. *PLEASE NOTE: I am happy to combine shipping when you buy more than one item!
