    Ernest Hupeden's Painted Forest is a simple white frame building set on a beautiful hillside in the small community of Valton, WI, located in Sauk County. Its treasure lies inside, where the walls and ceiling are covered from floor to ceiling with intriguing visionary murals painted in the late 1890's by itinerant, self-taught artist Ernest Hupeden, a German immigrant.
