On Wednesday mornings in New Glarus, the sound of strings drifting through the Village Hall community room tells a quiet story of creativity, curiosity, and community.

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. each Wednesday, the Sugar River Dulcimers gather to practice playing the mountain dulcimer, a traditional American folk instrument known for its warm, approachable sound. The group is open to adults of all skill levels, including those who have never played an instrument before.
