Wisconsin was the first place to ever devise a numbered system for its highways. It’s also a bit unusual in that letter names are given to county-owned and maintained highways. So let’s follow selected routes on the State Trunk Tour. Here are some great options – big routes and small – as you tour Wisconsin’s big cities, small towns, major tourist sights, out-of-the-way nooks and crannies, quirky tidbits, and more!
