Historic depots
While I was in northern Wisconsin a few weeks ago, I made a point of visiting two old railroad depots. Both are now museums run by local historical societies.
The depot at Mercer, Wisconsin, was built in 1906, and served passengers on the Chicago & North Western Railway. It’s the only remaining railroad depot in Iron County.

The Heart of Vilas County
I took a camping vacation in Wisconsin’s north woods last week, and spent a lot of time bicycling on the trails there.
