Mineral Point was the first city in Wisconsin to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places -- more than 500 of its structures are considered significant. Standing on the west end of the historic business district gives a downward sloping view of the vast number of buildings of varying architectural styles that make Mineral Point worth a long weekend's trip.

This southwestern corner of Wisconsin is superlative! Gorgeous sweeping landcapes dotted with grazing dairy cows, small towns with gingerbread homes that sometimes have a room open to the public with antiques, art/crafts, and/or tea rooms. The Red Rooster Café serves hearty, homestyle food. Mineral Point is a mecca for artists, craftsmen (potters, weavers, glass artisans), and writers. Buy cheese (some factories give tours), stroll free (or make a donation) through Dickeyville Grotto, and do not miss House on the Rock (allow at the very least 2 hours) with its Infinity Room. I haven't stayed at any hotels in this area (other than in the Dells/Baraboo area) as we would do this as a day trip or weekend trip from Iowa. Storybook Gardens is still in the Dells... something for all ages & interests.
