Western Great Lakes
The Western Great Lakes, Lake Superior and Michigan, distinguish the area’s three states: Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Formed by Ice Age glaciers, miles of navigable waterways and important ports provide endless opportunities for year-round recreation.
Trace the history of Abraham Lincoln, the legendary lumberjack Paul Bunyan, and Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Circus. Or ponder modern wonders like the river that flows backwards and the world’s tallest building.
