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!
