Welcome to Stoughton

We Encourage you to Roam and Explore!

As you wander through our town of Stoughton, you'll uncover local art, unique shops, rich history, delicious treats, and a vibrant celebration of Norwegian heritage and music. Rooted in the Norwegian philosophy of friluftsliv (free-loofs-liv), meaning "open-air living," we embrace a deep appreciation for the outdoors, reflecting allemannsretten—Norway’s Right to Roam.

Whether you’re hiking our trails, paddling our waterways, or strolling through our historic downtown, we invite you to experience friluftsliv in your own way—a cozy, soul-nourishing way of life where the freedom to roam is always yours.
