The weekend was warm, the beer was cold, the music was great, and the food was delicious — everything that was needed for a successful Oktoberfest. This year’s Oktoberfest was a record breaker for New Glarus — 173 barrels of beer were consumed just in the tent alone. Add several more barrels from each bar to that count and you have one big Oktoberfest!

'Glarners in America' – A New Book

Submitted by admin on Tue, 10/13/2015 - 9:02am

New Glarus, founded in 1845, is far from being the only destination for Canton Glarus, Switzerland, immigrants bound for America. Canton Glarus people, known as Glarners, have been living in America from as early as the mid-1700s. Over the years these Glarner immigrants could be found in most all corners of America. It has been a decade-long project of New Glarus native Robert A. Elmer to collect the stories of these Glarner immigrants and their descendants.
