About Mineral Point

Mineral Point is a lovely, small rural town of about 2600 people.  You will be hard pressed to find one more picturesque.  It is one of the oldest towns in the state of Wisconsin with roots in the early lead mining days.  Industry in the form of Zinc ore processing and agricultural activities followed.   Through a series of booms and busts much of the original architecture remained intact.  Mineral Point became the first city in Wisconsin on the National Register of Historic Places  with some 500 buildings in the Historic District.   Many are fully restored.  Others wait.  For you?

Mineral Point has long been a magnet for artisans.  Currently nearly 20 own and operate studios and galleries.   There is lots more about Mineral Point, our artisans and our history at the Mineral Point Web site www.mineralpoint.com.
