Thinking about vacationing in Wisconsin this summer? You could do worse than carry along a copy of Small-Town Wisconsin. Written by veteran Madison travel writer Mary Bergin, Small-Town Wisconsin traverses from the Illinois border to the Upper Peninsula, from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi, summarizing each town’s attractions and offering a “Decent Detour” sidebar to nearby highlights and a “Fast Fact” on history and additional sights. The color photography and easy-to-read design make it an agreeable travel companion.
