A DeLorean, one
of the most striking
and innovative
vehicles ever made,
is among the fully-
restored cars on
display at the
Automobile Gallery
where, according to
its owner William
“Red” Lewis,
“the automobile
is the art.”
Young Packers’ fans line up, as they wait
for each player to choose a bike to ride to the
practice field, while conversing with its owner.
TRAVEL
Green Bay’s rich cultural heritage can be seen
at places such as Heritage Hill State Historical
Park, where 25 historic buildings are located,
and at Hazelwood Historic House Museum,
which was the Greek Revival home of one of the
city’s early business and political leaders. The
Neville Public Museum features Wisconsin’s
history and art, while the Oneida National
Museum enlightens visitors about this Native
American culture. The fascinating National
Railroad Museum showcases a 1924 Pullman
sleeping car and the world’s largest steam
locomotive. The Automobile Gallery covers
100 years of automobile history through the
vehicles on display, which is each a work of art.
A trip to Green Bay is not complete without
trying some locally crafted beers and wines.
These can be found throughout the town
and during the well-attended Wednesday
Evening Market. There is also a wide variety
of restaurants in the town to please just about
anyone’s palate.
Wherever you go in Green Bay, the
prevalence of green and gold never lets you
forget that the Packers are the center of this
community. Everything from city garbage
cans to fire hydrants is in Packers’ colors. So,
while in Green Bay, plan to take the our of the
Packers Heritage Trail that features 22 bronze
plaques to mark important landmarks in the
team’s history. We opted to take the trolley
tour, which let us ride comfortably by the sites,
while listening to a live guided tour of the
Trail’s history, highlights and anecdotes by
a former Packers’ employee, who now owns
and operates the trolley. This experience gave
us a deep appreciation for what we saw in the
Packers Hall of Fame in the Lambeau atrium.

Another special experience for us was a tour
of the Green Bay Botanical Garden. Its four
carefully planted acres provide the opportunity
to enjoy the glory of nature as laid out by man.
The inspiring gardens and natural areas reflect
the beauty of Green Bay’s four seasons.
The charming town of De Pere is located
a little further south of Green Bay on the
Fox River. Its unique specialty shops and
restaurants made us realize that there is more in
Green Bay than football, cheese and bratwurst,
even though many people think that is more
than enough. 9
