Travel Through Time
Wisconsin’s largest collection of historic carriages and wagons is yours to explore year ‘round at the Wesley W. Jung Carriage Museum. Weather permitting, check out snowshoes at our visitor center and experience the natural beauty of our grounds via a different form of historic transportation! Snowshoes are available with 4+ inches of snow cover. The remainder of our site buildings, including the original Wade House Inn, our sawmill, and blacksmith shop, reopen for general admission in May 2027.
Step Into History – For a Limited Time Only
Step back in time with the 1875 Hotel Style Concord Stagecoach #433 at the Wesley W. Jung Carriage Museum. One of only about 160 known to exist, this beautifully preserved coach is a striking addition to Wisconsin’s largest collection of historic carriages and wagons. Don’t miss your chance to view this remarkable artifact!

The reforestation of Wade House Historic Site continues!
We are happy to announce that 14 additional trees were planted in Wade House's Wedding Meadow on Monday, November 9th. A big thank you to WI DNR and and Sheboygan Rotary Club's Restoration of Our Trees Sheboygan (ROOTS) initiative for their assistance with the purchase and tree selection of sugar maples, bur oaks, quaking aspens and redbuds.
We'd also like to thank Johnson's Nursery staff who, along with Wade House staff and volunteers, spent the day planting on our site. We are excited to watch these trees grow and to think of the generations to come who will enjoy them!
This collaborative venture has been made possible by support from the Kohler Trust for PreWisconsin Department of Natural Resourcesof Natural Resources
