Who would ever guess Kenosha, Wisconsin has great museums? Formerly a hub of American Motors, this city is teaming with culture and history.
Adam and I first visited the Kenosha Public Museum last week to see the 37th National Exhibtion of the Transparent Watercolor Society of America. (I first blogged about this exhibit on May 28, 2013.) We loved the amazing display of watercolor paintings! We were not allowed to take pictures of the paintings or I would place a photograph of every one on this blog. Indeed, every painting was a feast for the eyes.
I am currently living in Huntsville, Alabama in the Deep South. There is no museum dedicated to the Civil War here. Curious and curiouser, there is one in Kenosha, Wisconsin! It is dedicated to the role the Midwestern States of Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Illinois, and Iowa played in the Civil War.
I must say the docents of both museums bent over backward to help us learn. What Wonderful Wisconsin Hospitality!

A great bonus of touring these museums is that they are located on the shore of Lake Michigan! As a daughter of the the Great State of Wisconsin, the Great Lakes are a source of wonder and pride. Consider visiting Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the most southeastern corner of the Badger State!
