Vernon County Museum and History Center is a history museum in Viroqua. Our exhibits feature authentic artifacts, offering easy-to-read explanations of local history. We offer coloring sheets and historical hats for children, along with a gift shop that includes books for all ages. Our team operates four historical sites, including the Vernon County Museum, Old St. Mary's Church Museum, the Foreaker One Room Schoolhouse, and the historic Sherry-Butt House. We recently installed a new HVAC system, providing climate-controlled upper levels of exhibits. Visitors can explore records, such as those for teaching certificates from 1936, or learn about specific historical events like a Norwegian Regiment's role in the Civil War.
