It ran east–west for 5.93 miles (9.54 km) between Nichols and Seymour.

Because it paralleled WIS 54 and WIS 156, the road was turned over to Outagamie County control in 2003, and is now designated as County Trunk Highway VV (CTH-VV).

[2] In 1934, WIS 168 was first established to travel along present-day CTH-A and 13th Avenue from US Highway 16 (US 16, now WIS 16) to the Quarry Hill Road/Cinder Avenue intersection.

As a result, WIS 168 filled in the former alignment east of Leeman.

[10][11] In 2003, WIS 168 was entirely removed in favor of CTH-VV.
