Settled in 1845 by Swiss immigrants, this picturesque community is a thriving showcase of Swiss heritage, architecture, customs and cuisine. New Glarus residents observe Swiss traditions throughout the year. Expect to hear plenty of yodeling and alphorns in a village famous as "America's Little Switzerland". Notable annual events include the Wilhelm Tell Festival over Labor Day weekend and Oktoberfest in the fall. "Barn quilt" tours are another popular pastime as well as hiking and biking the Sugar River State Trail. The scenic hills will beckon you, and the rich Swiss culture will make you want to stay. Experience international travel without ever pulling out your passport.
