History well preserved at the Boorman House in Mauston

One of my favorite places to go and spend some time getting lost in wandering thoughts is the Boorman House in Mauston, WI. The Boorman House is more than just a beautiful old mansion - it houses the collections of the Juneau County Historical Society - A collection that tells the story of this area, and the many families that have called Juneau County home.


Although this writer is not originally from the area, the Boorman House has a way of making everyone who enters feel as if they are at home.


Open on weekends Memorial Day through Labor Day, the Boorman House is a must see when traveling through or staying in Juneau County. This is especially true if you are here during the weekends following Thanksgiving as this is a special time at the Boorman House - All the rooms get decorated in their holiday finest for the Annual Christmas Open House -


 Stewart's Chapel is another building owned by the Juneau County Historical Society and is located in rural Mauston off of County Hwy O - on Labor Day weekend the Historical Society holds a sale and potluck picnic.


The Boorman House is located at 211 N Union St. in Mauston -
