The Monroe Cheese Museum showcases the history of cheesemaking in Wisconsin, featuring replicas of cheese factories and an "ode to Limburger," produced in Green County since the mid-1800s. The museum is highlighted by two massive copper cheesemaking kettles on the front lawn and a Holstein cow named Honey Belle, all housed in a beautifully restored railroad depot.
Onsite, the Imobersteg Farmstead Cheese Factory offers a glimpse into early 20th-century cheesemaking. Visitors can step back more than 100 years to see how Brick, Swiss, and Limburger cheeses were made using milk from the Imobersteg Farm’s 40-cow herd. The original factory equipment, untouched since 1917, was relocated to Monroe in 2009, preserving its historic charm.
