A Local's Perspective
Life in Mount Horeb.
The Village of Mount Horeb was incorporated in 1899 and has deep Norwegian roots. Its Main Street, nicknamed the Trollway, is lined with carved troll figures, and the Driftless Historium tells the area's story downtown.
The village sits in the Driftless Area, a region of hills and valleys the glaciers missed. US-18/151 connects it east to Verona and Madison and west toward Dodgeville, and the Military Ridge State Trail runs through town.
The district serves Mount Horeb and Blue Mounds, along with surrounding towns.
