Visitors to Wisconsin often find themselves wandering through Mount Horeb, which is no surprise given its historical and cultural curiosities. This digital collection from the University of Wisconsin Digital Collections (UWDC) offers a range of printed materials depicting the early 20th century in this quaint town. The items here include church histories, family memories, books about the celebrated Norway Building, and other publications from the Mount Horeb Area Historical Society. All told, there are 23 documents here, including several rare photographs of John F. Kennedy giving campaign speeches during his 1960 trek through Wisconsin. It's worth noting that visitors can search the entire collection and, if they choose, go on to the complete state of Wisconsin collection homepage.
