Verona, Wisconsin is an ideal launching point to explore the rich arts, culture, and landscape of the Sugar River Valley. On this long weekend trip we explore the Swiss immigrant heritage of New Glarus, the Scandinavian traditions in Mount Horeb, performing arts at American Players Theatre, the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Taliesin, and more.
This region lies within the traditional lands of the Ho-Chunk Nation; their long history in this region is best told in their own words. Additional reading, including a historical map of the Sugar River Valley from 1828, is here.
