With 15,000 inland lakes, two Great Lakes, three National Park Service properties
and 57 state parks and forests, Wisconsin is blessed with
stunning natural resources. Not surprisingly, it is one of the top tourist destinations in the Midwest, popular with
visitors during all four of its distinct seasons. Wisconsin's
appeal isn't limited to rural areas, though; the state's towns and cities have a long history of supporting arts
and cultural activities, offering visitors a wide variety
of museums, galleries, performing arts, events and historical
sites. The state also boasts top-flight professional
sports teams, world-class entertainment and incredible
restaurants and nightclubs.

| The Badger state's economy is as diverse as its attractions.
Long known as "America's Dairyland," Wisconsin ranks at or near the top in a number of food production categories, including milk, cheese, cranberries, ginseng and
beer. Home to companies like Harley-Davidson, Rockwell,
Miller Brewing, Kohler and S.C. Johnson, the state is also a leader in manufacturing and boasts
one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country.
The state's education system is among the nation's elite, as evidenced by
Wisconsin's sixth consecutive top ranking in average ACT board scores among states in which the ACT is the predominant college entrance exam, and
it offers its citizens an extremely comprehensive package of health and human services
programs. Wisconsin state government is a model of innovation and responsiveness,
having played an integral role in the development of "Welfare to Work" and
school voucher programs in recent years.
