Of course you know that Wisconsin is more than Badgers and beer; more than Packers and cheese. But have you truly explored the state? Do you know where Frank Lloyd Wright’s fabulous architecture is tucked, or where the state’s longest main street runs? Have you reveled in the majesty of the Mississippi River bluffs, or experienced the charms of Madeline Island? You’ll discover all of these treasures and more in Backroads of Wisconsin. This discovery guide showcases the Badger states hidden corners, revealing a friendly, colorful countryside that both armchair and hands-on travelers will enjoy uncovering. Historical vignettes and humorous anecdotes are sprinkled liberally amid the descriptions of pathways that meander through coulees, over prairies, and along the riverbanks of rural Wisconsin. Whether you’re planning a day trip and are looking for unusual destinations or you simply want to learn more about the region, Backroads of Wisconsin will lead you deep into Wisconsin’s soul--beyond the cows and corn.
