Did you know that nearly 21 million gallons of ice cream are consumed by Wisconsinites each year? When you combine that fact with the fact that they’re known as the Cheese State, we’re thinking if you have a dairy intolerance, this isn’t the state you want to frequent. But cheese is delicious, so we encourage you to pack your bag full of Lactaid pills and order all the cheese curds you want in this cheesy state. Located on Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Manitowoc River, Manitowoc contains three colleges and several notable museums. The Rahr West Art Museum is housed in a nineteenth century mansion and has been expanded numerous times. The Wisconsin Maritime Museum has become one of the largest nautical museums in the country and is affiliated with the Smithsonian. It features the World War II era USS Cobia, an authentic combat submarine. You can also spend some time at the Lincoln Park Zoo. Once you’re done exploring the history of the area, take out your Lactaid pills and enjoy the delicious cheesy goodness that Manitowoc has to offer.
