If you find yourself in Wisconsin’s cheese country, be sure to visit the National Historic Cheesemaking Center, located a couple of hours north of Chicago. It has exhibits on the history of cheese with fascinating photos and imagery, as well as a focus on the Wisconsin dairy industry. It helps put cheesemaking in cultural and historical context. Funny how so many of the tools are exactly the same as a century ago!

“The cheesemaking museum offers visitors a unique look back at the history of cheese making in Wisconsin and the Green County area. It showcases artifacts and information about the area’s rich cheese industry, area farmers, and the history of cheesemaking in southern Wisconsin. The museum offers visitors a glimpse back at an 1800’s era model cheese factory and offers visitors a wide variety of facinating exhibits from “an era that once was….but will never be again.”
