Freedom Heritage Tour

Before the Civil War, the Milton House stagecoach inn was part of the Underground Railroad, a network of secret havens that helped runaway slaves get to Canada and freedom. On the Milton House tour you can follow a hidden tunnel to a log cabin that offered a hiding place in the event that "slave catchers" showed up.

Effigy Mounds at Lake Koshonong testify to the diversity of Native American culture. Although these low, often animal-shaped earthen mounds sometimes contained graves, they are clearly ceremonial sites and not just cemeteries. However, little is known of the culture that built these enigmatic mounds.

Distance of this tour is 22 miles on paved roads through gently rolling farmland. Trailhead is the City Park in Milton at the junction of Hwys 26 and 59. Contact the Milton Area Chamber of Commerce, 608-868-6222.
