Badger Store
Grand opening was held September 20, 1930.  Barney J. Chalupnik served as part owner and manager until his death in October of 1957. It was at that time that the two remaining stockholders, Leonard Thorson and Mrs. B. J. (Irene) Chalupnik named Jim Chalupnik the new manager of the store. The store remained the largest grocery and merchandise store of its kind in the area.

All about our roots

Badger Crossing

At Badger Crossing Pub & Eatery, we take as much pride in living in Cashton as we do with running our restaurant. 

​

The story behind the name.  Badger Crossing Pub & Eatery was named from the former Badger Store and the railroad depot and crossing that were fixtures in Cashton from the town’s beginning. 

 

Badger Crossing Pub & Eatery has been family-owned by Tim and Debbie Hundt since 2005.   Tim and Debbie are life-long "Cashtonites", with generations of their families calling the Cashton area home for many decades. 

 

Over the years, there has been more remodeling, adding additional tables and chairs,, and the addition of the Boss’s Lounge to the second story loft.  The Badger Crossing Pub & Eatery remains a prominent & popular spot in the village of Cashton.
