Review:
New Glarus is a lovely village in Green County that was originally established in the mid-19th century as a Swiss colony. The village retains its Alpine character today, known for its unique Old World architecture, including Swiss-style chalets and historic businesses. Visitors can sample a wide variety of traditional Swiss dishes rarely served outside of Switzerland, including röschti, kalberwurst, spätzle, and landjäger. Old World meat markets and Swiss bakeries sell traditional delicacies, while folk art galleries and museums highlight the culture of Switzerland and tell the tale of early Swiss immigrants. Visitors can also enjoy delicious craft beers at the New Glarus Brewing Company, the United States' 17th-largest craft brewery.
