Wisconsin Information

Self-dubbed “America’s Dairyland,” Wisconsin is known for its dairy products, particularly its cheese. Wisconsin’s location between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River makes water recreation a popular pastime. Other tourist draws are Wisconsin’s music festivals, including Summerfest (which calls itself “The World’s Largest Music Festival”), and more country music festivals than any other state. Wisconsin is also home to Circus World Museum in Baraboo, home of the Ringling Brothers.
