Madison, More than Cheese
In May of 1829, land speculator and judge, James Duane Doty, purchased 1200 acres of land from the government for $1.25 an acre. Now known as Wisconsin, Doty's purchase has turned into a top notch destination for business or pleasure, with Madison being a state favorite! Consistently ranked among the top 10 best Outdoor Oriented towns in the country, Madison has plenty to do, and even more to see. Situated between lakes Monona and Mendota, Madison does not disappoint her outdoor enthusiasts. Skiing, boating, biking and even ice fishing opportunities abound. Boasting four lakes and more than 260 parks, it's an outdoor lovers dream. But, if you're planning a trip in winter, bundle up! With an average high of only 28 degrees in winter months, it's truly a winter wonderland. Summer climes can reach highs of 80, perfect for walking and taking in the sights. Speaking of sights, don't miss the Dane County Farmer's Market. Located on the incredible Capitol Square, it's been named Best Farmer's Market in the Nation by Eating Well Magazine, and no wonder. With 160 vendors offering the freshest herbs, picked-off-the-vine produce and the largest offering of that legendary Wisconsin cheese in the area, this twice a week market is sure to please everyone. Families, check out the Henry Vilas Zoo, the Madison Children's Museum and the historic University of Wisconsin.
