Grant County, Wisconsin
The southwestern corner of Wisconsin is home to Grant County, a place where rolling hills meet the mighty Mississippi. It’s part of the Driftless Area, a region untouched by glaciers during the last ice age.
This unique landscape creates some breathtaking views. Farmers work the land here, just as they have for generations. The county has a rich mining history, evident in towns like Platteville.
Visitors come to Wyalusing State Park for hiking and camping. Fall brings an explosion of color to the bluffs along the river. Small towns fill the countryside, each with its own charm.
