Mt. Horeb wears its Scandinavian heritage on its sleeve, or at least on its Main Street. This thoroughfare is decorated with life-size, carved, wooden trolls – the classic creatures of Scandinavian folklore. The quaint downtown includes specialty shops, antique stores, artist studios and the Mt. Horeb Mustard Museum.

Just west of Mt. Horeb, the Scandinavian theme continues in the community of Blue Mounds. There, Little Norway features an 1850s-era Norwegian pioneer farmstead, and a "Stavekirke" (a wooden church) originally built for Chicago’s 1893 Columbian Exposition. For a different kind of sightseeing, stop at the Botham Vineyards & Winery in Barneveld.
