Outdoor recreation in Green County<br />

is not limited to the warmer seasons.<br />

With a little bit <strong>of</strong> cooperation from the<br />

weather, visitors are invited to enjoy our<br />

numerous snowmobile trails.<br />

Heritage and<br />

Culture<br />

Many communities pay homage to<br />

heritage with their efforts in historic<br />

preservation, as evidenced by the bounty<br />

<strong>of</strong> museums, historic districts, and<br />

buildings awaiting your exploration.<br />

Albany, Brodhead, Browntown, Monroe,<br />

Monticello, and New Glarus all have<br />

wonderful museums. Brodhead and<br />

Monroe also have designated historic<br />

districts.<br />

Besides the ethnic attractions,<br />

historic architecture, museums and<br />

festivals, there are many other cultural<br />

opportunities that can be sampled in<br />

Green County. For example, you can<br />

attend a musical performance, visit an<br />

art exhibit, learn about the old-world art<br />

<strong>of</strong> cheesemaking, or explore a restored<br />

railroad depot.<br />

Albany<br />

Albany features small town friendliness and<br />

charm with two bed and breakfasts, a scenic dam,<br />

and easy access to both the Sugar River and the<br />

Sugar River State Trail. Visit the Albany Historical<br />

Society Museum for a glimpse <strong>of</strong> early Albany, with<br />

displays on the pearl button industry, toys, cameras,<br />

hats, and more.<br />

Belleville<br />

Plan to attend BamFest (Belleville American<br />

Music Fest) in July or UFO Days on Halloween<br />

weekend - complete with spooky activities<br />

throughout the village.<br />

Brodhead<br />

Rich in railroad history, Brodhead welcomes visitors to the<br />

city with their authentically restored Historical Depot Museum,<br />

complete with an engine and caboose open for exploration.<br />

Brodhead also serves as the southern entrance to the Sugar<br />

River State Trail, with a shelter house, restrooms, and parking<br />

area. In addition, there are a variety <strong>of</strong> restaurants to enjoy, along<br />

with campgrounds nearby, a go-cart track, an airport, a bed and<br />

breakfast, and several stores featuring Amish goods and furniture.<br />

Brooklyn<br />

Music lovers enjoy the bluegrass festival in summer, and<br />

shoppers enjoy the arts and crafts fair right after Thanksgiving.<br />
