In the charming town of Mount Horeb, there’s an incredible museum that tells the story of southwest Wisconsin’s unique “driftless” landscape. The Driftless Historium is beautiful museum that feels like something you’d see in a big city, even though it’s tucked into a town of just 7,000 people. Here’s why you need to visit the Driftless Historium, a wonderful Wisconsin history museum.

The Driftless Historium is located in downtown Mount Horeb, near some great dining and shopping establishments, so it’s a nice excuse for a day trip to town.
