BELLEVILLE

Just moments from New Glarus is the village of Belleville - a community with outstanding outdoor recreation plus two unique shopping stops. A distinct curve in the 930-foot Stewart Tunnel (three miles south on the Badger Trail) means you’ll need a flashlight to navigate Wisconsin’s darkest trail tunnel by bike. To the north, connect with the Capitol City Trail and the Madison area. If you're lucky you might catch a glimpse of the Eagle pairs who nest along the berm of Lake Belle View and the Sugar River. Take the ten-mile challenge: paddle your canoe or kayak on the Upper Sugar River course. A new outlet store on the north side of the village is the place to go for bargains from Duluth Trading Company . The outlet features comfortable and functional wear for

men and women. You'll find "Dry on the Fly" cargo pants, "Buck Naked" underwear, and "Shoreman's Fleece" to withstand Wisconsin's cold winter days, and specially designed gardening apparel and tools for women. The store also stocks footwear, outerwear, and accessories, plus stuff for dogs and kids. Patches and Petals-Quilter’s General Store in downtown Belleville is a quilter’s dream come true. Thousands of bolts of fabric are arranged by hue. Quilts line the walls and hang from the second floor balcony. Patches and Petals offers a variety of classes for beginners through advanced. Visit their website www.patchesandpetals. com for special events and upcoming classes, to sign up for the newsletter, and to see the latest new fabric arrivals. And if you can’t get to Belleville today, remember the online store is always open!

In the 1840’s the canton of Glarus in Switzerland was hit by recession. The mechanization of the Industrial Revolution had put many of the weavers and cloth printers out of work, so the community sent representatives to look for new opportunities in the New World. Learn about the epic journey and resilience of those who established the Swiss colony of New Glarus, and get a glimpse into the daily lives of these pioneers by visiting the Swiss Historical Village. Continue the history lesson at New Glarus Hotel (originally New Glarus Haus), circa 1853. By necessity, lodging establishments were among the earliest commercial businesses established in pioneer communities. The dining room here was once a theatre that hosted traveling vaudeville shows. New Glarus Hotel offers authentic Swiss dining, and downstairs you’ll find Ticino Pizzeria – inspired by southern Switzerland’s Italian-speaking canton of Ticino that borders Italy.
