Black text on a white shape of Wisconsin on an orange red background

Wisconsin is a US state in the upper Midwest, with a rich history and culture. By the time of European settlement during the late 1600s, the area was populated by the Algonquian and Siouan nations, and is today home to eleven federally recognized tribes. During the 19th century, large groups of immigrants from Germany and Scandinavia arrived, and this population boom led to Wisconsin becoming a state in 1848. 

Tourism is a significant contributor to Wisconsin’s economy, with its beautiful geography attracting travelers far and wide. Because the state borders the Great Lakes as well as the Mississippi River, water recreation is particularly popular. However, Wisconsin contains diverse geographical features, and tourists are also drawn to the state’s pristine woodlands.

Bristol, Tennessee and Bristol, Virginia are twin cities on opposite sides of the state line, which runs along State Street (the main street) and through both cities. A sign above State Street/the state line proclaims Bristol “a good place to live.” The cities were officially recognized by Congress in 1998 as the birthplace of country music. In the 1920s, Ralph Peer of Victor Records scouted the area and discovered the Carter Family and Jimmie Rodgers. The two acts went on to record and popularize folk and country music. Descendants of the original Carter Family, including June Carter Cash, went on to shape American country music.
