Viroqua's First Settler
In 1846, Moses Decker came to the Wisconsin Territory seeking land. He purchased 160 acres and built a log cabin at, what is now, 207 North Main Street. In 1850, he plotted the village which became Viroqua and built a second log cabin that served as the town's public meeting place.
Marker can be reached from North Main Street (U.S. 14/61) north of West Decker Street (State Highway 56).
