Chalet of the Golden Fleece Museum Visitors to the Chalet of the Golden Fleece agree that this museum is a well kept secret.
"Unique" is the best way to describe this collection of one-of-a-kind antiques and treasures. Edwin Barlow, founder of the Wilhelm Tell drama in New Glarus, built the Chalet in 1937 as his private residence. A world traveler, Barlow always returned with additions to his ever-expanding collection.
