Lakes Edition's Town of the Week:
In the 1840s Switzerland was plagued by famine & high unemployment. Authorities in one particular Swiss canton (our town of the week's namesake) decided to send some families to Wisconsin seeking refuge & to find a place that resembled their homeland. The immigrants founded this Green County town in 1845.

1) Mt. Horeb
2) Belleville
3) New Glarus
4) Bad Fish Creek
5) Elkhorn
6) Newville
7) Cambridge

Can you guess the town name? 🙂
