Wisconsin State and Visitor Information

"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.
