Joined 1848 · 30th state · Central time
Wisconsin is dairy, beer and a progressive political tradition that ran alongside a conservative one for a century, which is why its elections are close and loud. It has a genuine supper club culture, a Friday fish fry that is close to compulsory, and a beer that is legally sold only inside the state, which is why people smuggle it out. Go for Door County, which sticks out into Lake Michigan and behaves like an island, and the Apostle Islands sea caves when they freeze.
Spotted Cow is sold legally only inside the state, which is why people smuggle it out.
