National Historic Cheesemaking Center and Imobersteg Farmstead Cheese Factory

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.
