Stoughton's vibrant and historic downtown boasts charming shops, galleries and restaurants, and the beautifully restored opera house is one of the few remaining second story theaters in the Midwest.
The largest of Madison’s outlying cities, Stoughton displays a sense of community and connectedness. The town still bears the influence of Norwegian immigrants who brought their families and traditions more than 100 years ago.

Be sure to try the lefse (Norwegian crepes) and cream puffs, but be on guard for local high school seniors taking turns pranking one another at this popular annual event.
