Gunfitters is located in Stoughton, Wisconsin. Ten miles southeast of the capital, Madison.
Many residents of this area were employed in the wagon or tobacco industries. When freight and passenger service between Stoughton and Milwaukee began in 1853, it ensured the success of these industries. A leather and harness making industry sprang up to support the wagon works. The T.G. Mandt Wagon Works were established in 1865. In 1889 the company reorganized as the Stoughton Wagon Company. T.G. Mandt began another wagon firm in 1896, which was sold to the Moline Plow Company after Mandt’s death in 1902. After the decline of the Stoughton wagon industry in the 1920s, new vehicle and part factories such as Highway Trailer and the Stoughton Cab and Body Company (Stoughton Trailers) were established. Semi-truck trailer manufacture remains an important part of the local economy.
