Explore the lives of the people who shaped the Greenbush community, from 19th century immigration to the Civil War, and their connections to the historic Wade House .
Tour the cemetery grounds and learn about the lives of some of Greenbush’s most notable residents on a two-hour tour of Greenbush Cemetery. Beyond the centuries-old, hand-stacked stone walls, visitors will hear about the people who lived and worked in this early Wisconsin community and are now buried in its historic cemetery. Many of these individuals are mentioned during tours of the historic Wade House. Guests will visit the final gravesites of Wade House founders Sylvanus and Betsy Wade, as well as residents Henry Dockstader, Charles Robinson, Dr. Robert Morrah and Charles Adam Corbett, among others. The tour will explore how these individuals came to settle in Greenbush, built their businesses and shaped the community, along with some of their connections to the Civil War. After the tour, guests will travel down the road to enjoy pie and apple cider at the Wade House Stagecoach Inn.

| This weekend at Wade House | October 24
It's time for another Prairie Schooner Saturday! Sign up for this once-in-a-lifetime experience to journey across the scenic Kettle Moraine countryside aboard a horse-powered covered wagon. Ours is a faithful reproduction of the Prairie Schooners that traveled west across the continent in the 1800s. Ride along with family and friends and get a feel for how Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family traveled throughout the Midwest during the mid to late 1800s.
