Wisconsin Vacations
Contrary to common presumptions, Wisconsin has much more to offer visitors than its spectacular cheeses. This self-proclaimed Dairy State is proud of its cheesy heritage and industry, and offers a not-so-cheesy wealth of artistic, historical and outdoors-oriented attractions. While the earliest Euro-American inhabitants were miners, after Wisconsin’s statehood in 1848 the settlers swarmed to the territory to take advantage of its fertile soil and farmland. Because of its heavy German and Scandinavian immigrant populations, Wisconsin soon led the country in production of butter, cheese and beer. Today Wisconsin still tallies up the highest concentration of dairy farms, and maintains a pride in its heritage.
Guests looking for a fun city retreat need look no farther than Madison, Wisconsin. As the state’s capital, this bustling city offers an endless array of activities for couples and family travelers alike. Guests can tour the spectacular Wisconsin State Capitol, perched along the isthmus that is bordered by Lake Mendota and Lake Monona. Visitors can gawk at the only granite dome in the nation and tour the plethora of murals, mosaics and hand-carved crafts that adorn the building’s interior. Guests who are interested in sampling the stunning local produce can head over to the Dane County Farmer’s market, located in Capitol Square on Saturday mornings. The market runs from April to November and draws more than 18,000 visitors each week. Travelers with families in tow can’t pass up the Madison Children’s Museum, which features interactive and hands-on exhibits to please children up to 12.
