Book excerpt: The author presents 134 of Wisconsin's noted historical houses, offering color photos, histories and descriptions, and practical travel information for each. All of these houses are open to the public. Learning about and touring these houses is like living the history of Wisconsin. Most were homes of substance, built by barons of industry, while others are more modest homes of figures who later became famous personages. Some are very large, and some are very small, such as Frank Lloyd Wright's 880-square-foot Seth Peterson Cottage, on Mirror Lake. All will be of interest to those who travel Wisconsin's roads in search of adventure and delight.
