What to do and see in Wisconsin, United States: The Best Cemeteries

April 6, 2022 Etsuko Causey

When you think “adventure travel” you probably think of far-flung places like Belize and Alaska—not Wisconsin. But if you’re an outdoor adventurer, you’ll find plenty of places to explore in Wisconsin. A vacation in Wisconsin can put you close to the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which has excellent biking trails. Or choose Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands—kayakers will love exploring Lake Superior’s many caves and shipwrecks.

Packers fans don’t wear those cheese-wedge hats for nothing! Foodies will love tasting as many of Wisconsin’s artisanal cheeses as possible. Either drive from cheesemaker to cheesemaker, or choose a Wisconsin vacation in a town with a good farmers’ market—then the cheesemakers bring their wares to you. And what goes better with artisanal cheese than craft beer? In Milwaukee, visit the Lakefront and Sprecher Breweries for tours and tastings.

Wisconsin Dells is a classic family vacation destination. A vacation in Wisconsin Dells will put you close to all the excitement—you’ll have to tear the kids away from the theme parks, wave pools and water parks in Wisconsin Dells!

Lake Geneva boasts clean beaches, golf, and a small-town feel that definitely appeals to city dwellers—it’s a popular getaway for residents of Chicago.

You could call this the beer cemetery, as many of Milwaukee's first brewers (and their families) are buried here. Not surprisingly, some of the markers are full on mausoleums.

Green Ridge is Kenosha's first City Cemetery and the resting place of many prominent Wisconsin residents. Senators, nuns, soldiers, business leaders--they're all here. Stop by the office to get a map of the points of interest. Be advised that Green Ridge is an active cemetery. We ask that you please be respectful as you explore the grounds.
