The University of Wisconsin Dairy Barn is a landmark building. Scientific accomplishments of our best and brightest agricultural minds laid the foundation for Wisconsin's early twentieth century agricultural pre-eminance. One of their most important discoveries grew out of the "single grain" experiments, which revolutionized nutritional science and led to the discovery of vitamins.
This extraordinary history has just been nationally recognized through the Dairy Barn's acceptance as a National History Landmark, the nation's highest historic honor.
