The Town of Albion is located in Dane County, Wisconsin, United States.

The unincorporated communities of Albion, Highwood, Hillside, and Indian Heights are located in the town.

Freeborn Sweet was the first settler of the Town of Albion, migrating from Oneida County, New York in August 1841.

In 1842, the first inhabitants in what would become the hamlet of Albion arrived, and the following year they organized a Seventh Day Baptist Church, which became a prominent institution in the community.

In the 1800s, the hamlet of Albion was a retail center for the area, with a general store, a wagon and blacksmith shop, a steam mill that manufactured wagons and sleighs, a harness shop, and a hotel.

Among faculty members at this school were the famed Swedish-American naturalist, Thure Kumlien, and the Norwegian-American author and diplomat, Rasmus Anderson.

Graduates of the college included naturalist Edward Lee Greene, educator John Q. Emery, newspaper editor Christopher J. Rollis, Colorado governor Alva Adams, and Minnesota's U.S.

However, it was rebuilt and a museum devoted to the academy and the early education of southern Wisconsin is now located on the Albion green.
