Abraham Lincoln himself stayed overnight at the Lincoln-Tallman House, the only Wisconsin home he ever slept in, where over 75% of original furnishings remain. The city also boasts the stunning Rotary Botanical Gardens, built by volunteers from a former quarry into a lush oasis with over 4,000 plant varieties. This weekend, check out the Sugar Maple Music Festival in Madison or celebrate National Mustard Day in Middleton—with games, food, and plenty of mustard.
