WISCONSIN

The Indian heritage of the Badger State provided the inspiration for the modern tepee that houses this exhibit. The displays tell the stories of Wisconsin's farms, industries and great outdoors. Outside the pavilion, experts demonstrate fishing and archery techniques. A 17-ton cheese, said to be the world's largest, is displayed on a huge, air-conditioned van, protected by chromium and glass. A cafeteria and a beer garden are located in the area, which is set amid pine trees.

The striking central portion of the pavilion, seen here, was moved to Wisconsin after the Fair and is now the home of a radio station. (CD18 Set 91 #23)
