Discover Wisconsin's Underground Railroad History at the Milton House Museum

Wisconsin played a much bigger role in American history than many people realize, and one of the best places to experience that story is just a short drive from Madison.

DJ Fusion sits down with Julie Marquardt from the Milton House Museum, Wisconsin's only certified Underground Railroad site open to the public.

Built in 1844, four years before Wisconsin officially became a state, the Milton House originally served as a stagecoach inn before becoming an important stop along the Underground Railroad. Today, visitors can walk through the historic inn and even travel through the original underground tunnel that once helped freedom seekers move safely through Wisconsin.

During the interview, Julie explains how the museum preserves this important chapter of American history while giving visitors an immersive experience that goes far beyond a traditional museum tour.

The conversation also highlights the museum's Signature Event on Saturday, September 26 at the Janesville Performing Arts Center.

The evening features:
The internationally renowned Fisk Jubilee Singers from Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee.
Milwaukee's Ko-Thi Dance Company, celebrating African, Caribbean, and African American culture through music, dance, and storytelling.

Because the Milton House Museum operates as a nonprofit, events like this help preserve one of Wisconsin's most important historical landmarks while continuing to educate future generations.

If you're looking for a meaningful day trip from Madison or want to experience a unique piece of Wisconsin history, the Milton House Museum offers guided tours Tuesday through Sunday throughout the summer.
