Wisconsin

Wisconsin was first explored by Jean Nicolet of France in 1634 when he landed at Green Bay. In 1660, a French trading post was established near Ashland. Great Britain acquired the area after the French and Indian Wars in 1763. In 1783, Wisconsin was acquired by The United States after the Revolutionary War.

Wisconsin is better known today for it’s milk and cheese production, although many other farm products are grown there also, such as peas, beets, corn, potatoes, oats, and cranberries.

The state of Wisconsin has over 14,000 lakes. Lake Winnebago is by far the largest in the state. Wisconsin is home to many recreational activities despite the cold winters. Water sports, ice-boating, fishing, skiing and hunting are all activities one can experience in the state of Wisconsin. Wisconsin is home to 95 state parks, forests, and recreation areas.

Wisconsin is home to many points of interest, including the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, Ice Age National Scientific Reserve, the Circus World Museum at Baraboo, the Wolf, St. Croix, and Lower St. Croix national scenic riverways, and the Wisconsin Dells.
