Wisconsin - America's Heartland – was settled in a swooping wave of pioneers in the nineteenth century. Rolling, wooded hills, affordable farmland and homesteads waiting to be staked out attracted America’s Eastern-born Yankees as well as immigrants from Germany, Norway, Poland, and other European countries. Wisconsin was the American Dream of self-sufficiency, home security and instant settlements inhabited by like-minded neighbors.  Nine historical sites are kept vibrantly alive by The Wisconsin Historical Society, from the First Capitol (1836, Belmont, Wisc.) to Circus World Museum.

Wisconsin's northern boundaries are Lake Superior and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (the Menominee River is a natural boundary); on the east there is Lake Michigan; Illinois is the southern border; and Iowa and Minnesota are to the west (the Mississippi River is much of that boundary).

The deepest spring-fed lake in Wisconsin, Green Lake, is the source and inspiration of Green Lake County. Home of rolling hills, deep natural woods, and tranquil, sparkling streams and lakes, Green Lake County is centrally located in Wisconsin and boasts many attractions: Berlin, the fur and leather capitol of the world; Markesan, once the 3rd richest community in the United States, now rich in Victorian homes noted for architecture and history; Ripon, the birthplace of the Republican Party; and there is Princeton, home of the largest outdoor flea-market in the state of Wisconsin.

The International Crane Foundation, the world’s leading center for the study and preservation of cranes; Robot World, an interactive, robot-guided tour; Trappers Turn, a championship golf course designed by Andy North and Roger Packard, are all located in Wisconsin Dells as well as Riverview Park (featuring the Hurricane) & Waterworld (offering guests a dark tunnel scream-thrill ride or a black opaque bobsled-like experience).

Milwaukee River - Downtown Milwaukee - Visit our Milwaukee PhotosAlmost all of Wisconsin's major industries are to be found within metropolitan Milwaukee, from their traditional brewing and meatpacking to the manufacture of heavy machinery and diesel and gasoline engines.

But this does not mean that Milwaukee is all work and no play!!  Milwaukee Naturally  - the wild side, investigates nature in the Milwaukee area.   Milwaukee Public Museum  houses three floors of exhibit space. Some featured exhibits include dinosaurs, the streets of old Millwaukee, North American Indians, European Village and their vaunted Butterfly Garden among many more. Other must-sees are the Golda Meir Library, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee , the Wisconsin Marine Historical Society (conserves the Great Lakes Marine Collection: 85,000 Great Lakes vessel archival documents and artifacts).  Historic Milwaukee, Inc.  provides walking tours throughout Milwaukee's neighborhoods, as well educational programs and presentations to promote historical and architectural awareness of the city.

Milwaukee Architecture  rates a special mention and for sheer fun with a long tradition, do not miss the Milwaukee Curling Club.

A land of mystery and abundant water, Northern Wisconsin's history extends further into the past, of course.  Do not miss Madeline Island Historical Museum, featuring prehistoric Ojibwe relics as well as later (1659) trade goods, missionaries' effects and tools of the lumbering and maritime industries. (The Chequamegon Bay region was the center of the early fur trade.)  Called 'America's Greatest Trail', the Ice Age Trail awaits hikers, campers, swimmers, fishers and budding paleontologists alike.  Parts  of Wisconsin were covered by six major lobes during the late Wisconsin Glaciation so the trail winds through most of the counties in the state, Including Marquette, the boyhood home of John Muir.  It is significant that Wisconsin has many paranormal websites.  The rough isolation of Wisconsin's North Woods region is cut by part of the Gogebic range, from which much iron ore was extracted before 1965.  Iron mining has since stopped altogether. Important copper deposits were discovered in the north in the 1970s.Wisconsin has numerous ports on the Great Lakes capable of accommodating oceangoing vessels. The superb harbor at Superior (shared with Duluth, Minn.) has sizable shipyards and coal and ore docks that are among the nation's largest.

Bayfield County is composed of quaint and scenic, tiny to midsize towns nestled in the national forest or situated on the shores of Lake Superior. Beautiful scenery, family ties and the standard of living have created a stable population.  Major Events include American Birkebeiner Ski Marathon, Chequamegon Fat Tire Festival and the Firehouse 50 Race.

Ashland and Bayfield Counties are stunningly beautiful. Lake Superior, the Apostle Islands, and the Chequamegon National Foresthave brought the tourism industry to the  communities of Ashland, Iron River, Bayfield, Odanah, Cable, Grand View, Port Wing, Drummond, Oulu, Herbster, Barnes, Cornucopia, Clam Lake, Red Cliff, Sanborn, Marengo, LaPointe, Mellen, Washburn, Glidden and Butternut
