      I live in SE WI, and understand that my time zone is -6 or -5 GMT depending on DST, but can't seem to find the correct setting for my time zone in the NTP settings. The clock seems to be off by hours no matter what I do. I guess it's possible that the clock was way off to begin with and just hasn't been able to sync with a time server yet.

            Usually NTP protocol don't do big jumps in time.  It has some limit to the automatic time change.  If the time shift is greater than XXX seconds / minutes, it will not update.

            Have you tried to config the clock manually to the closest as possible and then asked pfsense to then, sincronize ?

            Also, sometimes time settings is not change on the fly on some process.  Sometimes it is necessary to restart the service.  If it is something related to kernel, usually a reboot will make the time to be correct (if the hardware clock is correct at boot time).

            Regards from Rio de Janeiro.
