That seems like a strange plan for an average eighteen-year old girl to decide to undertake, so I suppose I might as well provide some background as to why I am going to do this. It started with the harsh winter. I don't know how many times I heard people professing their dislike of the state and stating plans to move to a warmer climate in a few years. Although I'm not a fan of the absurd cold weather we had, I disagreed with what they were saying because I unabashedly love the state of Wisconsin. There are a lot of reasons to love Wisconsin--the communities, the foods, the sports teams--the list could continue. I came upon the Wisconsin Historical Markers in trying to explain my love of the state and its truly unique character. Whether the markers represent places and events that were positive or negative, significant or insignificant, they all share the commonality of being a story that someone at some point thought was worth sharing because it contributed to the overall picture of the history and culture of Wisconsin.
I am visiting the markers with my father. I officially began this journey a few weeks ago, while I was on Spring Break.
