Just an easy two-and-a-half-hour drive from Milwaukee, the Stevens Point area should definitely be on your list of easy and rewarding getaways. Here are some tips from two recent visits.
The Stevens Point area has come a long way since its logging days.
Where once mills lined the Wisconsin River, now there are parks with free concerts. Plus, there’s world-class golf, a respected university and 27 miles of Green Circle walking and biking trails that loop through the region.
Walls around the area are enlivened by some great murals, including my favorite, painted by local artist Jessie Fritsch and picturing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, along with the names of dozens of groundbreaking women. (You can use this site as a guide to see all the area murals.)...

were Eagle Park. Enlightened and Component ... none of which failed and
all of which grew out of the space...

That trend also is adding revenue streams for new hotels and other developments, including craft breweries, museums and performing arts venues.
...moreThese six historic Milwaukee-area buildings have been redeveloped as events venues over the past year--despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
