Wisconsin - The US Explained

Wisconsin feels different. America’s Dairyland is, of course, part of the agricultural Midwest, but in this tree-covered state, lake houses and woodland cabins abound. Here are mining and manufacturing towns, major cities and sparsely populated wilderness alike. In a state largely skipped over by the glaciers, sharp hills, gullies and ravines look more Appalachian than Midwestern. This is a state of scenic natural beauty, an industrial giant critical to creating the America we know, and a key player in the country today. Join me for Episode 31 of the US Explained - Wisconsin.
