Due to the forecasted snowfall, we recommend planning your visit before 3 PM tomorrow. At this time, we expect to remain open all day, but if snow accumulates quickly and the roads become unsafe, we may need to close early for everyone’s safety!

@RealJamesWoods I had the cutest mom & pop come rolling up to kwik trip in a lemon yellow McLaren during my shift yesterday. It was their 35th anniversary and they were driving back roads seeing the sites. They'd been to Cave of the Mounds and the Mustard Museum.

Mrs. Goeke's class went on a field trip to the Cave of the Mounds in May. They toured the cave, learned about rocks and minerals, then got to sluice for rocks and fossils. Back at school, they cracked open geodes to see if there were pretty crystals inside. What a fun trip!

Did you know that @caveofthemounds was discovered by accident? It happened after routine quarry blast in 1939. It's 30 to 70 feet underground & located in Blue Mounds. Became National Natural Landmark in 1988. Tours are offered daily. 📸: WHI Image ID 82452
