Visit the Green County Tourism Archives |
HUNTING SEASON Remember those long road trips when you tried to amuse yourself by playing license plate bingo or counting the telephone poles? Well here in Green County, Wisconsin, we've got a variety of games and "I Spy" ideas to keep the whole family engaged and entertained. No special hunting equipment is needed - and the only thing you're likely to shoot is your camera!
BOVINE BINGO? 
Holsteins, Brown Swiss, Guernseys...of course you can keep an eye out for the various dairy breeds grazing on the hillsides, but better yet - download the Cow Scavenger Hunt form and look for a really unique herd of decorated cows. Most of these painted ladies reside in New Glarus, including a cow named "Bingo." However, one Holstein named "Honeybelle" wandered south to Monroe. Find them all and enter in a contest to win squeaky-fresh cheese curds.
BARN QUILTS 
Nearly forty colorful painted wooden quilt squares are displayed on both current dairy barns and historic barns throughout the area. Finding them all will take you over rolling hills and past scenic views on the back roads of Green County. More quilts will be installed this summer; visit the website Green County Barn Quilts for more information and updates. If you would like a county road map showing all the current and planned locations, request one by mail here.
GEOCACHING Think of it as treasure hunting with the latest technology. Now think of it as part of your vacation. Go Geocaching in Green County! Geocaching (pronounced geo-cashing) is a world-wide outdoor hide-and-seek game with millions of players who use Global Positioning System coordinates to lead them to caches and logbooks. There are more than 150 caches in the Green County area - click on the MAP to get an idea of where they are hidden.
BOUNTY HUNTER One thing you'll spend very little time hunting for is great taste! With two breweries and nearly a dozen cheese factories, Green County offers the perfect pairing of brews and curds. You'll also enjoy other local fare - like yogurt, sausages created from old world recipes, hearth breads, Emu meat and eggs, pasture-raised chickens and grass-fed beef.
