Madison

by traveldave

Wisconsin's capital, Madison, is a pleasant city with about 570,000 inhabitants in its metropolitan area. It is situated on a narrow isthmus between Lake Mendota and Lake Menona, making it one of the most scenic cities in Wisconsin. The area that would one day become Madison was originally inhabited by American Indians of the Sauk, Winnebago, and Fox tribes.In 1829, former federal judge and land speculator, James Doty, purchased over 1,000 acres (405 hectares) on the isthmus between lakes Mendota and Menona with the intention of establishing a city. When the Territory of Wisconsin was created in 1836, the territorial legislature met in the town of Belmont. One of the items on its agenda was to choose a site for the territorial capital. James Doty campaigned hard to have his site chosen. (He stood to make a lot of money through the sale of plots of land). He even went so far as to promise...

Milwaukee

by traveldave

With over 2,020,000 people in the greater metropolitan area, Milwaukee is the largest city in Wisconsin. Milwaukee is still widely known today for its brewing and manufacturing heritage. Although the brewing of beer is still an important part of the city's economy, the manufacturing segment of its economy has declined significantly over the last century. Milwaukee had its beginnings in 1785 when French explorer Alexis Laframboise established a trading post where the Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic rivers converge to flow into Milwaukee Bay and Lake Michigan. This strategic location on the shores of Lake Michigan ensured that Milwaukee would grow into one of the Midwest's major industrial cities.In 1818 French-Canadian explorer Solomon Juneau established a settlement on the east bank of the Milwaukee River which became known as Juneau's Side. Soon after that, another settler, Byron...

Historic Cedarburg

by dlandt

Located about 20 minutes north of Milwaukee, not far off the interstate is the cute little town of Cedarburg If you have seen lot of quaint little towns you will find this one to be little different, but if you are looking for quaint little towns this one should fit the bill. Cedarburg is a place where people from Milwaukee (although it is close enough to Chicago too) go to relax and unwind for a day. In the middle of the old part of town they have a little section set up for tourism. They have a number of boutiques, cute shops, a winery, an old fashioned blacksmith shop and good places to eat and drink.

A Family Outing Brings Everyone Joy

by deecat

In September of 2004, Allan, Jill, and I spent three days and two nights inWisconsin on what we call "our family vacation". It's always so much fun because Jill is so much fun, and Allan is always so cooperative. For instance, at home, Allan never shops; he hates shopping. But, on our family vacations, he "bites the bullet", so to speak, and he shops with us. I think he secretly has lots of fun. He did not tire out this time, and Jill and I did lots of browsing, and he joined us! One of the funny places that we shopped was called (of all things) "Screaming Tuna Surf Shop"! It was a zany place with bathing suits, shorts, tops, crazy jewelry, signs, and much miscellaneous items. We laughed so much in that store that I thought we might be asked to leave. Jill purchased a black skirt with a "funky" hemline.The photograph was taken by Jill just before we went into the Screaming Tuna Surf...

The Captain Frederick Pabst Mansion

by deecat

While in Milwaukee, one should try to visit the Captain Frederick Pabst Mansion It is really one of the best Flemish Renaissance Revival mansions in the nation. It represents the American Gilded Age of Splendor in Milwaukee. In 1892, the famous beer baron, Captain Frederick Pabst had this mansion built. Besides being a beer baron, he was also a real estate developer, a great sea captain, a patron of the arts, and a philanthropist. This mansion is quite the place to visit. From the day it was completed, it was called the "jewel of Milwaukee's" famous avenue of mansions, Grand Avenue.It's obvious when you visit the house that Captain Frederick had a German heritage.You will see stunning interiors, elaborate wall coverings, great craftsmanship in the fine wood used throughout the home, and quite elaborate wall coverings. In addition, there are many intricate ironworks, magnificent stained...

Wisconsin Wine

by dlandt

Overall, I would have to say that Wisconsin wines are mediocre. You will probably find that they are quite drinkable, usually made with imported grapes, and respectably presented. However, the handful of wineries in the state just don't seem to be able to quite get it together for turning out traditional vintages like Merlot or Cabarnet. The fruit wines are a different story, and you would probably be hard pressed to find better. Although worth a look, on my next trip, I'll be visiting the breweries. One exception to my admittedly bland endorsement, is Von Stiehl's winery, which you can find on my must see activities. They make good wine and sell it for a decent price. Their tasting section is also top of the line.

Maxwell Street Days in Cedarburg

by deecat

There are special events and festivals throughout the year in Cedarburg. Four of these days are called MAXWELL STREET DAYS. They are held once in May, in July, in September, and finally in October.We just happened to be in Cedarburg on Labor Day Weekend, which is one of the Maxwell Street Days. It starts at six in the morning and runs until about three in the afternoon. It is HUGE!These "flea market" events take place at the Fairgrounds in Cedarburg, a gigantic area indeed. We went quite late (about two in the afternoon), and some of the booths were starting to close. However, it is a good time to bargain. For instance, my daughter Jill purchased a $12,00 antique Vase for $2.00 so that the woman would not have to pack it up! We also purchased some candy.Truthfully, there is lots of pure junk at these events, but every so often, you are lucky and find an item you really want.Regardless,...

Family Time is Quality Time in Wisconsin

by deecat

Why do I like Wisconsin so much? I like it because it reminds me of my childhood when family was the center of life. Here in Wisconsin with its "straight-forward", "downhome" kind of atmosphere, I am comfortable. Even though its been called "boring" by some people, I find nothing boring about it. With Lake Michigan as its centerpiece and hundreds of other lakes dotting its landscape, it offers beauty, tranquility, and a perfect place to spend time with those you love...the family.Ironically, I find Wisconsin to exhibit a quiet elegance with it's antiques, mansions, quaint Bed & Breakfast Inns, art, theatre (indoor and out), and its astounding beauty.Yes, it has its corny side also with Cheesehead hats and its beer guzzeling " good ole' boys". Yet, that also adds to its appeal. As a family, we loved being in Wisconsin. As a wife, I adored the romantic ambience of Wisconsin. As a Mother,...

Railway Bridge in Cedarburg, Wisconsin

by deecat

Right on the "main drag" of Cedarburg, you will discover a few benches next to an iron bridge and a huge informational plaque. I was curious, so I wandered over and read the sign. INTERURBAN BRIDGEIt talks about the construction by the Milwaukee Northern Railway Company of a riveted-steel "Thru Truss Bridge" over the Cedar Creek. Now, Cedarburg was named after Cedar Creek because of this power-producing creek that the Irish and German immigrants harnessed to produce electricity. The Carnegie Steel Company manufactured this Interurban Bridge. It measures 159 feet long by 12 feet wide by 20 feet high and is constructed for the company's interurban train line between Milwaukee and Sheboygan, Wisconsin.It was powered by overhead electrical lines. The trains carried passengers and freight in and out of Cedarburg. The railway depot and its servicing area once stood just a few blocks from this...

Last Covered Bridge in Wisconsin

by deecat

We all enjoyed seeing and reading about the last covered bridge in the state of Wisconsin, the Cedarburg Bridge. This structure was built in 1876 and was retired as an auto bridge in 1962. It was built by the town of Cedarburg because of a petition of neighboring farmers. They wanted this bridge to replace periodically washed out bridges. So, they used pine logs that were cut and milled at Baraboo, Wisconsin. These logs were fitted and set in place in lattice truss construction using 3x10 inch planks that were secured by two-inch hardwood pins. This technique eliminated the use of nails or bolts. The bridge was floored by 3-inch planking. In 1940, the Ozaukee County Board voted to assume the preservation and maintenance of this bridge.A plaque with information about the bridge was erected in 1965 by the Ozaukee County Historical Society. Jill, Allan, and I really enjoyed walking the...
