Known throughout the US as “the cheese state” Wisconsin produces some of the best cheese in the country thanks to the early German and Scandinavian settlers who helped establish its farming and dairy industries. Apart from grazing cattle, their fertile ground is also used for growing hops which is why the two largest beer companies, Miller and Schlitz have called Wisconsin home. Beyond the rich pastures and famous breweries, Wisconsin’s rivers, forests and glacial lakes offer lots of outdoor activities including fishing, boating, biking and camping.
While driving through the small towns of Wisconsin most visitors are pleasantly surprised by the architecture: buildings and private homes designed by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, a fellow Wisconsinite. In the larger city of Milwaukee, Santiago Calatrava’s Quadracci Pavilion at the Milwaukee Art Museum features a unique moving sculpture that’s so cutting-edge it should belong on the set of a Star Wars movie.
