Milton House Museum

Reviewed By CityHiker73 - near Milwaukee, WI

Milton seems to be a sleepy but charming little town. It's claim to fame is being a stop on the Underground Railroad. Tours are about an hour long and bargain-priced. The waiting area has a plethora of old-time pieces and story boards. Tabby was our guide, and she spoke quickly, but clearly, and had so much information to share. She started by telling the story of the hotel, illustrated with gadgets from long ago--from a cheese cutter to a hearing aid. As we moved through the rooms, Tabby explained why visitors were passing through. She gave us time to explore all the artifacts in the rooms. Eventually the tour went to the lower level, where food was stored and escaping slaves were hidden. We even got to use the underground passage, improved enough to be easy to maneuver through. The gift shop is homey, with all sorts of well-priced and unusual items.

During the Christmas season, the light display here is simply marvelous. You can see the entire display in about an hour, so this isn't something that will take an entire evening. Definitely a great experience for anyone during the holiday season - looking forward to coming back next year!

It's hard to miss any musical at the Fireside but it always a treat to see the Christmas musicals. This year it is "Miracle on 34th street" and Kris Kringle is just awesome. Dinner as always was very good and don't miss the Red velvet cake with cinnamon ice cream.

Complimentary tasting, share a bottle of wine and a cheese tray, try our unique wine and chocolate pairings, paint a wine glass or a wine bottle, or just hang out with us in the tasting room or on the deck. Northleaf Winery is a small, urban, family winery. All wines are made on site in craft batches, from grapes grown coast to coast. The tasting room is in an 1850 building on the National Registry of Historic Places. We give tours of the winery by reservation, and have a free video tour in the tasting room.

My husband and I visited here last week. We did the wine flights with the cheese/cracker platter. The wines were great, good pours, and the platter was enough for a meal. Great service and reasonably priced. The inside has historical charm, and even the patrons...MoreThank you so much for your kind words!

Rock River Thresheree

Reviewed By rtb3629 - Edgerton, Wisconsin, USA

I have been going to the Rock River Thresheree for years. First with my father who grew up on a farm and used many of the old farm equipment on display and now with my grandsons - ages 12 and 15. They particularly like the old tractors especially the old steam tractors which smoke, belch and makes lots of noise. They actually drove their first tractor at the Thresheree.

But the Thresheree is so much more than just tractors. The are static displays as well as operating exhibits of narrow gauge railroad, blacksmith shop, sawmill, shingle cutting, and pile driver. There is also Civil War encampment, military vehicles and a wide variety of earth moving equipment. Add in a giagantic flea market and many food stands, and you have an event for the entire family. And, oh yes, there is a parade everyday of many of the tractors on display as well as hands-on opportunities and demonstrations of old fashion threshing and agriculture processes.

The Rock River Thresheree is a celebration of our agriculture and industrial heritage. It is something for everyone, regardless of age to see and experience. However, be advised that it is only open and operating during the Labor Day weekend annually.

and re is something for everyone - displays of old tractors and farm equipment

Rock County Historical Society

Take a step back into the 19th century on one of our guided Lincoln-Tallman House tours, explore the fascinating new exhibits at Helen Jeffris Wood Museum Center or attend one of our many events such as Tallman Arts Festival, the Lincoln Fun Dash or Janesville Historic Walking Tours. Did you know that Abraham Lincoln was once a guest in Rock County's most famous residence, the Linoln-Tallman House? Constructed between 1855 and 1857, this six-floor mansion is an excellent example of Italianate-style architecture. From the basement to the cupola, each floor offers visitors a unique glimpse of daily life in 19th century Rock County. Over seventy percent of the furniture is original, making it one of the most complete historic houses in the Midwest. From 1857 to 1915, the house was occupied by the William Morrison Tallman family. In October of 1859, Abraham Lincoln stayed at the house after a series of speeches in Beloit, forever cementing the reputation of the Lincoln-Tallman House as "where Lincoln slept". On the guided tour of the house you'll learn about Lincoln's famous visit, discover how the house was built, why the Tallman family moved to Janesville from New York, their connection to abolitionism and the Underground Railroad. When you visit the Helen Jeffris Wood Museum Center, you'll find several wonderful exhibits, a gift shop and bookstore. Current exhibits include: *Pauline Pottery showcases *Pickard China gallery *Breadbasket: Seed to Spoon exhibit *Irish in Janesville exhibit *Parker Pen artifacts

Went to the Spirits of the night Tallman Thriller at the Tallman House. It was $20 a person for about a 15 minute tour. Start out by sitting in a dark lit room while they play a recording. Then walk to the Tallman House where a man greets you and guides you through dark lit rooms, with people walking around to make it look like spirits. A few special affects. At the end, they want you to buy expensive drinks. There should not of been any costs for drinks. Not worth it. They did have bag of chips at no cost, water, soda, and apple cider. The cost was way to high for what it was. They also rushed you through and was not able to take all in. Not worth the cost.

Lakeview campground and bar

Pettit's Lakeview Campground and Bar 91 campsites some seasonal and some daily weekly and monthly. All sites have water sewer and electric. Sports Bar with live music and a full menu. We also have Boat slip rentals and camper rentals

Reviewed By medonnelly - Easley, South Carolina

We booked four nights camping at Lakeview starting on Wednesday, April 16, 2014. Of course Lakeview had no control over the weather, but it was cold at night! When we arrived we were informed there was no water at the sites due to cold nights and the chance of freezing pipes. They let us fill our water tank from their spigot and directed us to a pull through site. I had requested 50 amp service and this site didn't have it. We walked the entire campground and this appeared to be the only pull through that was available and the only site with 30 amp! There were a lot of permanent year round campers at the campground and they took up a majority of sites. We decided to stay in the site because it was close to the bar/restaurant and bath house. Friday night we discovered being too close to the bar was a mistake - it was noisy late into the night. They do a good business, and the bar is very nice and we found the food to be delicious (we ate one meal there). There is an excellent view of the lake from the bar and they have a great set up for outside seating, weather permitting, and a nice beach there too.

Fortunately the nights warmed up enough for them to turn the water on to the campsite on Thursday. We were not offered a discount for the one night we didn't have water, and there also wasn't any off season rates. We paid the same rate for 30-amp as we would have for 50-amp. We most likely will not stay with them again, but would visit for dinner!

Fermenting Cellars Winery

Reviewed By Eisme77

We visited on a whim to find a delightful, family-owned winery set in the picturesque woods of southern Wisconsin. The couple who owns the business were friendly and welcoming, and we spent as much time visiting as we did tasting the wine. Their wines are made from several old family recipes that have been tweaked and added to as the business has grown. Open for private events during warmer season as well as for tastings year round. Highly recommend for a pleasurable experience. Definitely try the Quoffee!
