Wisconsin Odd History

History includes tributes to the brave, the adventureous, the generous...and the odd.

Wisconsin has had it share of odd history as well, some funny like Filthy Lucre, some happy like The Man Who Vanished, some interesting like Aunt Mary Ann and some just puzzling like Legislator Obsessed with Underwear.

We here at BuyWisconsinLand.com wish everyone a safe and fun fulled 4th of July weekend.

Visiting Every County in Wisconsin

The story of an adventurous Wisconsin family travelling across our state by Jim Stingl | In My Opinion Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

This might be a first, the state tourism folks tell me. A New Berlin guy and his two sons are visiting every one of Wisconsin's 72 counties this week.

That's a pace of 10 or 11 a day, with a stop at each courthouse to snap a photo as proof that they - Tim Johnson and sons Ben, 11, and Noah, 6 - were truly there.

You could argue that this is more of a quest than a vacation, and in fact Tim's wife, Jenny, and 14-year-old daughter, Emma, took that position and decided to stay home instead. For some reason, seven straight days of driving some 400 miles to far-flung courthouses didn't appeal to them.

Fun in Wisconsin

One of the great things about Wisconsin is every community has it's own activities and festivals. Each town, large or small, has at least one (most have more) event that draws folks from all over to come and enjoy the day.

When planning your purchase of a dream property you should take the time to get to know the area you are looking in, know what the local community is about and times they celebrate - so you can join in the fun!
