While you're here, why not have some "Moose Wings" at the Orange Moose Bar & Grill (located in the hotel)?  The second orange moose can be found there by the road.

Another of the many Mega-Rodents that advertise cheese along Wisconsin's roadways.  This one is found in the parking lot outside the Perkins and BP station near the Orange Moose.

Sadly, the home of the 8-legged pig (or was it 6-legged?) closed in 2002.  The remaining artifacts, including stuffed albino animals, a meteorite and what was reported to be an original copy of the Declaration of Independence, were sold off.

On this long stretch of desolate road, two humanoid silhouette cutout figures stand near the wood line waving to the passersby.  They look to be of the common kind than you can buy in the home & garden section of any major store.  But why did someone put them here in the middle of nowhere, positioned so far from the roadway?

Any further information would be welcome.

A project was underway for a giant beer-stein-shaped retail complex which would have contained 44 stores and would have been topped with a stainless steel roof, but it looks like the entire plan was scrapped.  Shame.

The reports on this site are presumably fiction, using random Wisconsin place names in the stories listed there.  Even so, you might get a kick out of reading them.
