Wisconsin Cheese Shopping

Video Description

Cheese anyone? This is the Mars Tavern just inside the Wisconsin border after leaving Illinois. Formerly it was the Mars Cheese Castle. When we were younger we would drive into Wisconsin on the 294 interstate and as we drove into Wisconsin, this store was on the other side of the interstate going back into Illinois. So of course, when we meaning my friends, sister or family, would head back home of course it was late at night and it was closed😁. So for many trips into Wisconsin, either the Dells, Milwaukee or Lake Geneva and other places, my friends or family and I could not shop there to see what they had, other than maybe cheese. So at some point we simply arranged to go there at sometime during the day when it was open. So anyway as this video shows they have a large selection of not only cheese, but also sausages, crackers, mustards and so on. If you are into cheese curds they have them fresh. This was early fall of 2025 on a quick day trip to Burlington a nice small town that was very photogenic with some lovely homes and also the location of the Nestle factory. Video coming soon. By the way the cheese is great they have many varieties and brands from hot spicy to blue to pimento and everything in between, the sausages also are hot to regular and various brands as well. We purchased some items, brought them home and enjoyed. I especially enjoy a sample jar of champagne mustard, which reminds me there is a mustard museum somewhere around here in Wisconsin that one day we will try to visit soon. For now it looks like our next trip might be to Ohio, once the weather gets a little better, our big trip will hopefully be to Colorado with our 100 pound dogs who will demand only to travel in an SUV. Good travels!😊
