While supplies last, get our limited-edition, anniversary T-SHIRT, put your name on our digital "HONOR SCROLL," and receive exclusive monthly progress reports in exchange for your support of the Museum of Root Beer 2026 Expansion T-shirt Campaign.

We're opening the museum wall later this year to expand into the adjacent space and will DOUBLE our museum space, our root beer bar, and our retail area. It takes money to do these things, and we hope we can COUNT ON YOU to chip in a mere $50 to be a part of the excitement. (!)

Stop in the store at 513 Broadway in Wisconsin Dells, or give Reed a call at 608.393.8283 to claim your T-shirt size. Hope to hear from you or see you in-store!
