Would you like to visit the birthplace of the ice cream sundae, where the creator of the Betty Boop character got his start, or perhaps follow in the footsteps of Abraham Lincoln during his army days in the Black Hawk War? History is all around us, if you only know where to look. To discover Wisconsin’s rich history and culture, just find an official Wisconsin State Historical Marker.
