Scenic Tours & Sights

One of the most relaxing activities in the area is driving our windy, county roads looking for wildlife. The area is beautiful with rolling hills, class A trout streams, the Mississippi River and a variety of hardwood trees that display their fall colors that take your breath away.  Tour our local vineyards and organic farms, get a glimpse of the Amish, see unique round barns, choose from several historic walking tours, take a short drive to the Mississippi River (take Hwy 56 West to Genoa to Lock and Dam #5) or travel along the Black Hawk Trail to follow the Native American retreat from the last war in the Midwest.

Round Barns

Vernon County has 11 round barns, more than any other county in the United States. The Historical Society published a book telling the location and history of these unique barns, which are available for purchase at the Vernon County Museum and the Viroqua Chamber Main Street Visitor Center.
