Not since Edwin Barlow donated the Chalet of the Golden Fleece and its collection to the Village of New Glarus in 1955 has this museum received so much attention to preserving it for future generations.

The Chalet just marked its 60th anniversary as a New Glarus and Green County landmark and as a visitor attraction by becoming listed on the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places. It now awaits its official placement on the National Register in September. Once the private home of Barlow, the museum is a noted example of a Swiss Bernese mountain chalet, built in 1937.

Such recognition...
