Then just follow H until you see all the action! Prior to 1973\, this was the original route of U.S. 12 before they built the freeway (some fun trivia for road geeks like us!) \nGeneva Cheese Festival Address:\nLake Geneva House of Music\nN3241 County Trunk H (formerly U.S. 12)\nLake Geneva\, WI 53147\n(262) 248-0606\nWebsite\n \n \n\n\n\n \nBack to StateTrunkTour.com
