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!

The remainder of our site buildings, including the original Wade House Inn, our sawmill, and blacksmith shop, reopen for general admission in May 2026.

TOMORROW AT WADE HOUSE!
Join us tomorrow, February 7, for the first of this year's Wade House Hikes, "The Woods in Winter."
1 pm - 2:15 pm
Winter is when the woods slow down, the forest grows still, and snow coats every last branch in beautiful, stark-white splendor. Strap on snowshoes and explore woodland areas at Wade House Historic Site while looking for tracks and traces of wildlife visitors.
Accompany naturalist Jim Willaert on the hike, as he showcases the beauty of winter at Wade House.
