New Glarus, Wisconsin

New Glarus gets its name from the canton of Glarus in eastern Switzerland. Immigrants from the region founded the Wisconsin community in 1845. The town stays true to its Swiss heritage with chalet-like buildings and events like the Heidi Folk Festival. Its shops offer cheese and chocolate imported from Europe, and New Glarus is home to the only Swiss Heritage organization in the US. Be sure to stop by the Glarner Stube and the brewery.
