Join Tom and Kristi Flick Manus as they take us on a road trip though Wisconsin to see and hear about some historic Wisconsin roadside attractions.
The Book:
Whether you’re on a motorcycle or in a car, truck, or RV, the open road has long represented an enchanting combination of adventure and freedom. Historic Wisconsin Roadsides provides an essential guide to the most historic and fun road trips Wisconsin has to offer.
Go explore and make memories on 11 road trips such as White Arrow Signs, Harbor Towns and Shipwrecks, the Great River Road, and Madison and Heritage Towns. Historic Wisconsin Roadsides is packed with over 1,200 recommendations, including a 1932 dairy bar that gives away free ice cream cones when the temperature drops below minus 20 degrees, where to eat what many consider the original butter burger (not where you expect,) ride Elvis’s favorite roller coaster, find a whimsical 1927 C.W. Parker Amusement Company carousel, and visit the world’s coolest 1950s motel featuring live music, song-writing workshops, and a radio station broadcasting only music created on-site.
