• Wisco Wednesday: Dr. Evermor’s Sculpture Park

    This is the inaugural post in my new, semi-regular series in which I will write about the things that make Wisconsin–my adopted home state–weird, wacky, and wonderful. Today’s featured attraction embodies all three, which makes it a fitting place to start! “America’s Dairyland” notwithstanding, there’s a lot more to love about Wisconsin than just cheese
