Very pretty. I do not remember seeing that when I was a cheesehead. I am a native cheesehead.

The Mars Cheese Castle is much more representative of the state.

Holy hill is very beautiful. Like 20 miles Northwest of Milwaukee. Erin Hills where they played the 2017 US Open is closeby and I believe you can see Holy Hill from a few places on the course. Some really nice motorcycle riding around there too.

Beautiful rolling hills of the Kettle Moraine area of WI. Many Irish, including my great grandparents, settled in the surrounding area.

We probably went there. We lived in Milwaukee or in its suburbs from around 1957 through 1969 when we moved to Reno at the very end of the year.
