I visited the center, the Aldo Leopold shack, and the crane blind when I went for a lecture and Crane Congregations Expert Tour. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and we were served a nice afternoon snack of local wine, cheese, and honey with bread, crackers and fruit. We were offered hand warmers and hot drinks to help survive the cold when we went to observe the roosting cranes. All in all a great day trip.

We needed to get out of the house in month 7 of Covid sequestration...stopped by sky-hi for an apple pie, cider and fresh apples to go. Even the teenager enjoyed the petting zoo.
3. New Life Lavender & Cherry Farm

Lavender is so soothing! This family run farm is amazing. They’ve been in business only a few years and are definitely at the top of the market. Lavender is grown for culinary as well as for soap/lotion/ decor at this farm. We enjoyed the hour-long wagon tour with oldest son driving the tractor while dad narrated. Youngest son proudly showed us his sheep that he’s raised from babes. There are many different varieties of lavender and we got to touch and smell four kinds. The conclusion of the tour featured the young daughter who is raising goldfish. Our final part of the tour surprised us with a sample of the family’s delicious cherry lavender pie. Wow! Their products are amazing. Fortunately they have a website and a complete online store.
4. Historical Man Mound
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 8 reviews
Reviewed By AndrewFromMadison - Madison, United States
Wisconsin is home to what used to be thousands of Native American Mounds, with hundreds still surviving. There were several man-like effigies as well, but this is the only one left - and not intact (legs have been cut off to make a road). This mound is so unique that not only it was placed on the National Register of Historic Places (happens fairly often), but was recently recognized as a National Historical Landmark (that's a very rare definition, with only 2,500 landmarks in the entire country). Effigy Mounds are almost unique to southern Wisconsin and surroundings, and this one is unique among unique.
