I visited the Vernon County courthouse in Viroqua on Sunday November 22, 2015. I got to Viroqua just before noon and it was a beautiful day with an inch or so of new snow on the ground. After walking around the courthouse, I went over to a site managed by the Vernon County Historical Society to see the old St. Mary’s Catholic church and the Foreaker schoolhouse. Then I headed back toward Madison, stopping for some more photos at the Vernon County Museum.
