The June 2013 issue of Chicago Magazine has selected Mineral Point, Wisconsin as one of five summer vacations for Chicago’s culture lovers.  Here’s the short article:

It’s an interesting list – East Lansing, Detroit, Nashville, New Orleans and Mineral Point. The article specifically mentions taking an art class and staying at Shake Rag Alley and having a burger and a beer at Brewery Creek.

The tagline for Mineral Point is “work with your hands.”  The article points out that Mineral Point is “good for families” and 4 hours by car from Chicago.  (It’s actually less than that.  But this allows you time to buy some cheese once you cross the border.)
