As a life long, born and bred Wisconsin native and resident, these videos felt like a love letter to this beautiful state. Thank you so much. I feel like Wisconsin doesn't get as much love and recognition as it should from the rest of the country. People seem to know us for beer and drinking, cheese, and a certain Milwaukee serial killer whose name i won't even mention. I wish more of the country knew what a fabulous, beautiful, diverse, and historically significant state Wisconsin really is. Great work!
I don’t see how beer and cheese aren’t adequate to deserve love and respect. I’ve never been to Wisconsin, but yes: that’s always what I’ve thought of whenever I’ve thought of Wisconsin. And it has always made me feel feelings of love and respect.
@@GrantDWilliams82 I think what he meant is that most people only think about beer, cheese, and our sports teams. Very few people talk about how the state helped build the country, or how beautiful the scenery is here. When it comes to recruiting high school kids from outside of the Midwest, they all seem to think a city like Madison is a small city with farms everywhere. When they actually come up for a visit, they are left speechless at how beautiful everything is, or how much there is to actually do throughout the state.
@@erics607 I think people need to stop pandering to morons. If highschool kids from outside of the Midwest consider "only" beer and cheese and farming as inadequate, that's their problem. Most college kids are only actually qualified to work in breweries or dairies, or on farms, anyway. Take away government backing of student loans and that's what would happen. They need to get over themselves. Normal people don't need to rise up to their narcissistic standards.
I grew up in Monroe, went to college in La Crosse. I've been all over the country and to many places in foreign lands. I've seen amazing, beautiful, majestic and historic places. The rolling hills spotted with dairy farms and woodlands of southern Wisconsin will always have my heart as one the most beautiful places. There is a small rock pile off Dutch Hollow Road, my favorite spot in all the world, where sunsets filled my youthful eyes with visions of future dreams and the many questions of my past early life.
Incredible series! I moved here for college, fell in love with the history, culture, and architecture of the whole state. I call Wisconsin my home now!
These videos are fantastic and absolutely fascinating. As a resident of the Fox Cities area of Wisconsin, it's truly disappointing that none of these things were taught or mentioned in our schools. I went to Nicolet Elementary without ever being taught who Nicolet was. What?!?! Now I have plenty of notes on historical places to visit! And many are relatively local. Time for a road trip! Thank you so much!
Well done my man. I recently moved to Wisconsin a few years ago and have been fascinated with it's history and general beauty. You did a great job with it.
What a fantastic video series, I share these with friends and family around the country. As a newcomer to Wisconsin (20 years) I feel like this state has it all yet no one outside of Wisconsin seems to know that, they don't know what they are missing.
Binge watching all three parts of this series and happy to see my truck under the bridge at 8:28. Crazy to think some random day at my college internship would land me a minuscule part of an amazing recap of Wisconsin’s history.
I really appreciate this series being put on You Tube and being made. There is so much I did not know about my home state. We had so many firsts in this state and were very innovative. I am amazed at all the things I never knew about the state I grew up in and live in.
Great series! I appreciated the attention to architecture. As a young person born and raised in Wisconsin, I often feel the pull to leave for more exciting places. However, from my young eyes, Wisconsin has such a rich moral character. Very little is sold out, the people are authentic, and there is a sense of camaraderie and community amongst Wisconsinites. Despite its problems, Wisconsin is a truly special place in the US and I am thankful to call it home. I thought this series portrayed the State’s earnest and courageous, yet simple nature beautifully.
Same feeling here. I moved to Colorado about 10 years ago and moved back to Wisconsin last year. The more you learn the more you appreciate your home. I never should have left!
@@Oper8orError556 Yeah you should've. You can't really say something is great when you haven't tried any alternatives. At least now you can say from experience that Wisconsin is the best of the two states you've lived in.
What a superb history of Wisconsin (parts 1-3). The pictures and narration provided a comprehensive view of the state. It should be a model for other state histories. ❤
These three videos are exceptional, but I agree there is much more outside of the the southeastern area that could have been included. (I live in a beautiful rural area in eastern Portage County).
As a former Wisconsinite living in Texas, the producers and drone crews did an excellent job in putting together a documentary of the history of Wisconsin. I am sure you put in a lot of manhours to produce a quality documentary for us to enjoy. By mixing the drones and the cameras, I was able get a better understanding and visual perspective of the beauty of the state along with your story.
This has been a really great series! Wisconsin is my home and I love it here. Thanks for making these videos! My mom’s family emigrated to Wisconsin from South Tyrol in the 1920s and we are still in contact with our relatives from the “old country.” I’ll have to suggest your series to them, I think they’ll really like it.
Very cool. It blows my mind as to how they made such amazing buildings back in time. I’ve been in a lot of Wisconsin towns but it’s awesome seeing some of the landscapes from yours views and actually knowing what some of the buildings are about b
II am so so impressed with the series. First of all, it was beautiful in the way it was shot and the places captured. Second, it was extremely well narrated hitting a level I've never seen before on TH-cam. Wisconsin has a lot of places that are difficult to pronounce. The narrator pulled it off flawlessly. And last but not least, it was extremely well researched. It had all the notes of Wisconsin's history that I personally knew and far more. Congratulations! I'll be recommending this to all my Wisconsin friends and family.
Fantastic job! Photography is beautifull. Great naration and information. I live in northern Illinois and my children live in the Sheboygan area, Elkhart Lake. I'm so glad my children and grandchildren are there. Fantastic history in these presentations. Thank you kindly. By the way, I am Swiss and Italian desent. My grandparents came from Glarus Switzerland and I have visited New Glarus. The people there look just like myself and my family. Thank you again.
This was amazing. Thank you for making this video. On a side note…if you ever come through Watertown, drive by some of the most beautiful churches in the state. St. Bernards, St. Henry (both catholic) St. Marks (Lutheran) Giant churches built 150 years ago.
I lived on Fourth Street hill in Waukesha overlooking the city. I could see Holy Hill from my home. Beautiful church, been there a time or two as a child. Great video!
Wisconsin Post Office Murals may be another book to add to your list. Wisconsin has 35 sites with wonderful Depression-era murals. I'm must saying!! LOL
My wife and I loved this series. Living in Madison there were some places near the end of the video that you showed that we want to go visit one of these weekends but you didn’t have the names for them. One is 15:15 and the other was 15:32
First - these 3 videos are excellent. Thank you for this. Second - the only mistake I could find (since an earlier poster complained,) was "St. Joan of Arc Chapel, Milwaukee, c. 1420" (16:06 mark of this video). I'm thinking maybe 1720?
Thanks for the compliment. They say the Joan of Arc chapel is actually a medieval building! It was brought over from France, so the oldest building in Wisconsin, but not the oldest building original to WI.
Take that drone up north! Not seeing Old Main in Stevens Point, the Rapids in Wausau, the Eau Claire Dells, and other points North belies the line you stayed south of :) (I jest a bit, I love your work, and just want to see more of the norther part of the state too!
Hey man, in your B-roll you can include St. Mary's Springs Academy in Fond du Lac. The old bell tower wass a sight alone, and they did their best to replicate it, we insisted when it was knocked down in 2014 because of asbestos
I enjoyed the series. Thanks! But have you ever been to the Eau Claire/Chippewa Falls area? There's a lot of logging history and historic architecture there. I was bummed that there wasn't even a passing mention during talk of logging (I believe in Part 2).
Thank you, and yes, that would have been good! There were many specific places I didn’t mention, but I didn’t want it to degenerate into a list of places associated with each movement. Part of it also was time constraints for getting around and filming. I would have loved to include some shots of Leinenkugel’s!
Very nice work on the video. Watched the whole series. I love going into the driftless area. We always have fun traveling around up there. Yes, we like to escape Illinois from time to time! But, GO BEARS! ✌️
I was hoping to hear more about the migration of Kentucky settlers to the Antigo area when the railroad got up there. My ancestors came from Elliot County KY up to Evergreen, which they founded, over to the UP of MI and down to Bay City MI.
I don’t - it would make sense to put that info in the description of each video! Though most of the places are indicated either with text or in the narration.
Way too much on Milwaukee and the other larger cities. Small town and rural Wisconsin is where the love is of our beautiful state. It’s why Solomon Juneau moved to Theresa in the summer as his wife the daughter of a Menominee chieftain could not stand the smell of Milwaukee and its filth. So in the summers various tribes came to Theresa for trading. They knew Juneau as an honest white man that would not cheat them. Not far away in the late 1840s iron ore was discovered. With area limestone deposited pig iron became the product of the first blast furnace in Wisconsin at Maysville later renamed Mayville. The furnace complex produced for the next 80 years. Its pinnacle was reached in the years of the First World War. But all around Wisconsin history is around us. Towns with names that describe their reason to exist. Like Hustusford, it’s located on a ford across the Rock River. Or West Bend on the West bend of the Milwaukee River. Or Little Chute on the rapids ( before the dams ) on the Fox River. Think of all the towns and cities with Indian names. Like Oconomowoc, Waupun, Ocachee, Neenah, Wausau, and it’s Indian Fort towns like Fort Atkinson, Prairie du Chen, or the old Military Road across the State. In my opinion the program spends too much time showing photos of downtown Milwaukee. Most of us don’t give a damned about Milwaukee’s high rise buildings.
I didn't see anything about the native battles in central Western Wisconsin. Actually, most of this 3-part series actually had very little about Western Wisconsin.
fun fact. okauchee and the rest of lake country was a stop for a lady in the night. heard numerous of stories of gambling machines booze and guns that are hidden in the waters
It’s also too bad they don’t mention the unique geology in the state. Glaciated 3 times brought a very beautiful landscape. I’m originally from Wisconsin Rapids which had been a hole in the glacier 3 times and wound up somewhat flat unlike much of Wisconsin.
The theme seems to be that immigrants built Wisconsin. And America. Now, sadly, they’re shunned. I’m 75 and all of my grandparents were immigrants who helped build America. Great series. Well produced and presented.
So you concentrated mostly on the Eastern part of Wisconsin and totally disregarded the Wisconsin River Valley. The Wisconsin is the hardest working River in the country. There were many Paper mils there, Towns like Portage, Wisconsin Rapids, Steven Point, Wausau, Rhinelander and many more.
Ill be damned if this isnt the best state in the union. I now live on Chicago for school but whenever someone asks me where home is it will always be Wisconsin. I bring my Chicago friends to Milwaukee and Wisconsin and they always say its better. Its funny many lf my friends here are wisconsinites somehow u can just tell when meeting them

Because, I have to tell you, as a life long, born and bred Wisconsin native and resident, as well as a history major, the wonderful work done for these videos feels like a love letter to Wisconsin.

I'm no longer in the state but my family has been in Wisconsin since early to mid 1800s. Thanks for the great videos!
Excellent work. I learned more about my state here than anywhere else growing up.
There's still more of Wisconsin than Milwaukee, Madison. Missed out of Northern Wisconsin.

I just love Wisconsin. Lush farmland and special hospitality. Just amazing scenery and great Industry.
Great video! Thank you!
This was amazing. I am blown away by the footage, the narration and the immense detail. I learned so much!
Wow, thanks so much for the comment!
Thanks for making this. Moved away from Portage to California 14 years ago and it definitely made me homesick.
What a great series, I've called Wisconsin home my entire life less 4 years, and I would love to be able to stay when I retire

Well done sir, this gave me goose bumps muptiples times as I learned about places I frequent regularly. Great drone work and excellent narration.

Way too much on Milwaukee and the other larger cities. Small town and rural Wisconsin is where the love is of our beautiful state.
It’s why Solomon Juneau moved to Theresa in the summer as his wife the daughter of a Menominee chieftain could not stand the
smell of Milwaukee and its filth. So in the summers various tribes came to Theresa for trading. They knew Juneau as an honest white man that would not cheat them. Not far away in the late 1840s iron ore was discovered. With area limestone deposited pig iron became the product of the first blast furnace in Wisconsin at Maysville later renamed Mayville.

I do, the Dells of the Eau Claire, near Wausau. Unless you meant the bridge, which is Turtle Creek Parkway, near Janesville.

I'm pretty sure I was driving by when you crashed your drone in front of the Hearthstone.
Nice! I was amazed that drone survived.
I didn't see anything about the native battles in central Western Wisconsin. Actually, most of this 3-part series actually had very little about Western Wisconsin.
Chase Sone Barn (Town of Chase, Pulaski) !

nice start for the history of Wisconsin. But as usual, the northwestern part is ignored, except at tax time
This series is nice but it focuses too much on Milwaukee.
I was just thinking that!
This guy seems to not mention superior Wisconsin and lake Superior inland seaport
So you concentrated mostly on the Eastern part of Wisconsin and totally disregarded the Wisconsin River Valley. The Wisconsin is the hardest working River in the country. There were many Paper mils there, Towns like Portage, Wisconsin Rapids, Steven Point, Wausau, Rhinelander and many more.
Not a single mention of the Belgian migration to northeast Wisconsin in the 1850s.
