Prefer paddling to pedaling? Sculpting and deposition can form moraines, kettles, drumlins, and eskers.
Dozens of small family farms, seemingly plucked straight from a Norman Rockwell gallery, dot the landscape and many supply award-winning farm-to-table restaurants in Chicago, Minneapolis and Milwaukee. Those things come together just outside Spring Green at Frank Lloyd Wright’s 800-acre estate, Taliesin is only available via guided tours that start from the visitors center and go by bus across the road to the estate.
Erosion Thousands of years of scraping by ice can have dramatic, and sometimes dramatically varied, effects on a landscape. The region’s most famous citizen, architect Frank Lloyd Wright, built his home and studio here, called Taliesin.
I wrote a blogpost recently about this:Do you have a link for the Brooking Institution report, "Why Does Manufacturing Matter?" Technically it stretches from the southeastern suburban sprawl of St. Paul-Minneapolis down to Waterloo in Iowa and past Dubuque to western fringe of Madison, Wisconsin's capital.
Stop and sample. Wisconsin’s Driftless area makes a great getaway for every kind of traveler, even the family dog. I think about this a lot, Milwaukee and Chicago could do themselves a huge favor by doing some joint marketing to foreign tourists. We walked from the parking lot up to the brewery’s hilltop site with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside from its rustic outdoor terraces. Jo Daviess County, where Galena is located, does a good job of promoting itself to tourists but spends little time boosting Dubuque, even though most tourists would have to drive through Galena to get to Dubuque and might even stop for the night.As with tourism, so with economic development in general. Mostly, it will require forward-looking citizens talking and planning together.This isn't easy. Their sturdy and fireproof stone legacy remains the trademark of Mineral Point.
Read about it in Nancy Horan’s somewhat fictionalized bestseller Not far from Taliesin, but light years away from Wright’s austere aesthetic, Alex Jordan built his Inside Jordan’s home, opened to the public in 1960, you’ll see his lifetime of collections including the world’s largest indoor carousel with 269 carousel animals and 182 chandeliers. (Actually, the states do cooperate on projects to protect the natural environment in the Area. Local officials who'd like to cooperate with the folks across the state line say they are stymied by state governments, especially legislatures, who would never dream of spending a tourism dime that just might benefit some other state. The city was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971 and the National Trust for Historic Preservation called the town one of America’s “Distinctive Destinations.” Another Cornish legacy: the pasties (meat pies) and figgyhobbin, a cinnamon and raisin pastry concoction you can savor at Mineral Point’s Red Rooster cafe. Wisconsin wouldn’t be Wisconsin without breweries and one of the state’s best is the New Glarus brewery on the south edge of town. It could mean the community colleges of the region working together to teach skills needed for certain industries, like the joint academic efforts promoting the health industry in the LaCrosse-Winona area. If you’re looking at a topographic map it’s easy to find – essentially the hilly regions of the upper midwest. Wisconsin state parks welcome well behaved dogs on leashes and Governor Dodge state park has a special dog beach. Overcoming ingrained local suspicions never is. All four states have their own competing tourism programs, run from the state capitals, which see tourism as a zero-sum game, never thinking that a tourist who lodges in Wisconsin, say, might cross the Mississippi for some recreation in Iowa.
And, don’t miss the glassed-in Infinity Room that extends 218 feet over the valley floor. Named after General Henry Dodge, the first territorial governor of Wisconsin, the park contains over 5,000 acres of idyllic natural beauty.At Governor Dodge we hiked up cliffs, under waterfalls, over fields of grass and wildflowers and along spring-fed creeks where you can step into the cool air of the old spring houses that early settlers built as natural refrigerators. All of the sites mentioned in this article have easy parking for large vehicles and trailers. Strictly local initiatives start with a heavy handicap. That’s why it’s called the Driftless Area. A house, he said, should be “of the hill. "Driftless Area" is an odd name and says more about what the region is than it isn't. In the global era, size counts. And if the way to your heart is through your tummy, you’ll fall in love with New Glarus’ authentic Swiss bakeries, butcher shops and restaurants . Ethnic ties remain strong: the little Iowa town of Spillville, where Antonin Dvorak conceived his American Quartet, is still an outpost of Czech culture. But the Driftless Area itself is divided between four states and some 25 to 35 counties, depending on where you draw the boundaries. Over forty percent of North America’s migrating birds pass through the area annually along the Mississippi River Flyway because of its abundant water and vegetation. It is probably the most beautiful single area in the Midwest but, compared to other tourist draws like Indiana's Brown County and Michigan's Leelanau Peninsula, little known.Unlike the Grand Canyon, the Driftless Area announces itself slowly and its boundaries are vague. THE DrifTlEss ArEA 4 As a glacier moves, it carves away land by erosion and also deposits and sculpts new landforms. Meet the locals. Much of the region lives up to this conception. This gives it nine counties in Minnesota, sixteen in Wisconsin, eight in Iowa, and part of three in Illinois.In truth, it's more compact than that. Glaciers in this period did not penetrate the Driftless Area, however. David Rhodes’ prizewinning novels Our route followed State Road 23 to Governor Dodge State Park, located between Spring Green and Dodgeville, which we made our basecamp for the trip. Earlier glacial periods are more difficult to map with precision, but it seems clear that the Illinoian Glaciation also passed around the Driftless Area.
