Gather your family and travel back in time to experience a relaxing, peaceful stagecoach journey through the rolling landscape of the Kettle Moraine. Board our replica Concord stagecoach as you meet horses, take photos with them and learn more about the picturesque world of the horse-powered past during your 30-minute ride. Our handsome stagecoach can comfortably accommodate six passengers per tour, though it may be possible to include more if needed—contact Wade House staff if your group has more than six individuals.

Wade House Stagecoach Inn was constructed conveniently between the cities of Fond du Lac and Sheboygan, along a well-used stagecoach trail. This made the 27-room Greek Revival hotel a popular resting point for weary travelers. Three generations of the Wade family resided on the Wade House property, with the stagecoach inn operating until around 1872. The Kohler family and the Kohler Foundation purchased Wade House in 1950 and began a top-to-bottom restoration. The site became property of the Wisconsin Historical Society and opened to the public in 1953. Here, visitors can journey back to the horse-powered world that existed before planes, cars, and trains. The site features the stagecoach hotel built and owned by Sylvanus and Betsey Wade, early settlers of Greenbush, as well as a blacksmith shop, sawmill, and the Wesley W. Jung Carriage Museum, which houses Wisconsin’s largest collection of carriages and wagons. Visitors can enjoy horse-drawn wagon rides from the visitor center to the historic core and back again.
