What our hosts said about their town:

“Mineral Point is a historic small town nestled in the beautiful rolling hills of southwestern Wisconsin, known for its rich mining heritage, proud LGBTQ+ history, and vibrant arts community.
Established in the early 1800s, it was one of the state’s first European-American settlements and became a hub during the lead and zinc mining boom. At risk of becoming a ghost town in the 1930’s, the town was saved by a gay couple, Edgar Hellum and Bob Neal, who began buying and restoring properties, and inviting their friends to do the the same.
The town is now celebrated for its thriving arts scene, with over two dozen galleries and artists studios that draw visitors year round, blending historic charm with a contemporary creative spirit.”
