MT. HOREB, Wis. -- The Mount Horeb Mustard Museum and its 5,000 jars from more than 60 countries are on the move.

The museum, which has called Mount Horeb home for 16 years, will get a new location and a new name when it moves to Middleton to occupy the old antique mall at the corner of Parmenter Street and Hubbard Avenue.

The Middleton City Council voted Tuesday night to approve $1.4 million in Tax Increment Financing to allow developer High Pointe Properties to renovate the space with the Mustard Museum as the anchor. Two other retail spaces will likely occupy the building.

"We just stumbled upon it, but we had been thinking of bringing the museum to some other location where we could expand its scope," said owner Barry Levenson. "We had been offered things like free rent in places well far away, and to us Middleton is the opportunity to keep it here in Dane County."

Levenson said the move is because of the opportunity the new and slightly larger space presents. He feels Middleton will benefit from the tourist draw the museum has already built for itself.

"A lot of people come to the Mustard Museum in Mount Horeb, but a lot more people are going to come, especially because it's going to be so much better," Levenson said. "(It's)interactive -- people making their own mustard, people learning about mustard (and) the history of mustard -- all on a scale we can't come close to in Mount Horeb."
