Looking for a place to settle, Moses Decker had
made his way here in 1846 to what would later become Viroqua. In 1850 a village site was
surveyed and platted by Samuel McMichael.
  
By 1851 the village needed a meeting place,
so Decker, with the help of others, constructed an 18x22 house which stood where the Temple
Theatre now stands.
    
A gift to the community, it first became the Courthouse, a schoolroom, a church and a place
for social and political meetings.   
    
Decker later donated 40 acres of land for a new county seat for Vernon.  
     
The region is home to "the best kept secret in the world" pristine trout streams and excellent fly fishing only a few minutes from Viroqua's historic downtown.
