Wisconsin Travel

On the map of America the fist of Wisconsin delivers an uppercut to Lake Superior while its thumb pokes out, like a hitchhiker’s, into Lake Michigan. That hand is a beautiful appendage, clothed in cool north woods and rolling green pastureland and studded with diamond-blue glacial lakes. The quiet Mississippi, which delineates much of Wisconsin’s western border, is edged with dramatic limestone and sandstone bluffs. Other rivers twine through the deep forests, sometimes driven to frothy rage by melting snow.

House on the Rock, Wisconsin

While traveling through southwest Wisconsin, we were intrigued by signs promoting the House on the Rock, near Spring Green.

Columbus Carriage Classic, Wisconsin

There are plenty of reasons to visit historic Columbus, Wisconsin anytime of year. But early June brings an added incentive--the annual Columbus Carriage Classic.

Wisconsin's Circus World Museum juggles circus history and exciting performances with acrobatic flair.

Showman P.T. Barnum would feel right at home at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin, where colorful circus history shares the center ring with classic family entertainment.
