Chalet of the Golden Fleece
“Unique”
is simply the best way to describe this collection of
one-of-a-kind antiques and treasures. Visitors agree that the
Chalet of the Golden Fleece museum is a well kept secret.
Visitors are amazed at the size of the collection within—a full three
floors of painted furniture, antique silver and pewter, original
artwork, paintings and etchings, samplers, prints, Swiss scissors
cutting, quilts, fabrics, antique glass
and
china, coins, stamps, Swiss woodcarvings, Swiss dolls, and more!
Items of special interest in the collection include a jeweled watch once
owned by King Louis XVI, 2000-year-old Etruscan earrings, Gregorian
chants on parchment— one of the oldest forms of written music—dating
from 1485,
17th
century Bolivian silvered gourd jewelry cases, a 300-year-old Swiss
slate and wood inlaid table, and a Swiss porcelain tile stove made in
1760. The Chalet is an authentic copy of a Swiss Bernese mountain
chalet. This design is characterized by a white plaster foundation and
brown-stained wood walls. The intricately detailed woodwork in the
interior pays tribute to Swiss woodworking craftsmanship. The flower
boxes, in summer, overflow with geraniums—a Swiss favorite. The rocks
and logs on the roof demonstrate how they are used in Switzerland
to
protect slate shingles from strong mountain winds. Edwin Barlow, New
Glarus resident and founder of the Wilhelm Tell drama, built the Chalet
in 1937 as his private residence. A world traveler, Barlow always
returned with additions to his ever-expanding collection. Barlow donated
the
Chalet and collection to the Village of New Glarus, to be maintained as
a public museum.
