The "Badger State" nickname can be contributed to the period of mining before and during the early years of the statehood, when the miners live in the mines in which they also worked due to the lack of the above ground shelters. Today, the unique landscape and beauty has made the state popular for both tourism and many forms of
outdoor recreation.
Wisconsin is also known as "America's Dairy land" for its quality of cheese making. The outdoor activities, especially hunting and fishing, make it fun living in Wisconsin in winter.
