If you have driven by the Schroeder Saddletree Factory Museum lately, you might have noticed something missing. In fact, two things are missing! Our signs have been removed for an overhaul and beautification, but don’t worry the tours continue their regular schedule. Even signs need preservation work from time to time. We hope to have our signs back soon, but in the meantime, don’t forget you can check the Calendar of Events page to see the full list of programs and tours day by day! We hope to see you soon!

Our friends at the Wild West Rodeo Show stopped by the Schroeder Saddletree Factory Museum to present HMI with a check for $5000! The Wild West Rodeo Show had two sell-out nights and a magnificent fashion show that allowed them to donate back to the Madison community. The money received will be put towards creating better experiences for visitors of all ages at the Schroeder Saddletree Factory in 2023.
