Welcome to the Wisconsin Explorers Guild
A guide to the unique, offbeat, and unusual things to see and do in the state of Wisconsin.
Join us as we venture along the Dairy State’s highways, byways, and back roads on our quest to explore Wisconsin’s rich history, regional curiosities, and fascinating attractions.
As we’ve written on our About page, this site is a work in progress, so please bear with us as you look around.
