| "America's Dairyland" is the easily recognized slogan on Wisconsin's license
plates. Among the state's credentials for the title are national leadership in dairy
production since 1920 and a history of being among the leaders in most milk products since
shortly after the first cheese factory was opened in the state in 1864. Wisconsin
cheese became an international delicacy; malted milk was invented; the development of a
butterfat tester, to determine the richness of milk, brought creameries and commercial
buttermaking. In south-central Wisconsin lies the state capital Madison. Southeast
Wisconsin is the state's most populous region. The major cities are Kenosha, Milwaukee
(Wisconsin's largest city), Racine, and Waukesha. The popular summer getaway destination
of Lake Geneva is also included in this region; as well as the scenic areas of the Kettle
Moraine, and Lake Country, Waukesha Co. While visiting Wisconsin stay at a welcoming
and friendly bed and breakfast urban inn, farm or town homestay B&B, historic hotel,
country inn, or lakeside lodge. |
Tourism is one of Wisconsin's largest industries, relying on travelers who
enter during the summer for fishing and its parks and recreational facilities such as
those in Wisconsin Dells, those entering during the fall for a very popular hunting
season, and Winter for ice-fishing, ice-sailing, ice-skating, skiing, snowmobiling, and
more. Noah's Ark is "America's largest Waterpark" in Wisconsin Dells. Wisconsin
Dells is full of waterparks and amusement parks. If you look at your left hand, palm
facing away from you, it looks like the shape of Wisconsin. Door County would be your
thumb, a peninsula extending into Lake Michigan. Door County is well known as a vacation
destination for family outing (esp. family reunions) and laid-back vacations. It has
numerous apple and cherry orchards, boating on Lake Michigan, and many bed and breakfast
inns, farm or town homestay B&B, historic hotel, country inn, or lakeside lodges. |
