“Good Town Museum - Who would know unless you try it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

The history of bicycles brought back memories and some new history I did not know. The Deke Slayton Space information was a proud history for Sparta and Wisconsin State. The manager was very helpful and friendly.

“Worth the visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 August 2011

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was actually 3 museums in one, the County historical museum, the Deke Slayton museum and the bicycle museum. If you're into cycling (and if you're in Sparta, you are) then this is definitely worth the $3 and hour or so to wander through. A must see in Sparta!!
