Ride a Rustic Road

Scenic history surrounds the Northwoods

Across the state there are pathways to the past — stretches of road where motorists can experience Wisconsin’s scenery as though they were a 1950s couple out for a Sunday drive on crisp autumn day, or a logging truck driver carving through the stillness of a 1930s Northwoods winter, or a child catching sparks of sun through the canopy of leaves while the family drives up north for vacation in the 1960s.
