Gravity Hill

31

Village School House Museum

At Gravity Hill, your car, when stopped and shifted into neutral will begin rolling up-hill. It is caused by the large deposits of zinc and lead and ore in the ground or the empty hole underground where they were mined? Is it an optical illusion?

To find out, drive south from Shullsburg on County Trunk U beyond the intersection with Rennick Road. Watch for traffic and if all is clear, stop at the bottom just before the road starts up the wooded hill-side and near the farm field gate on the right. Place your gear shift lever in neutral, release the brake, and guess which way you will travel. Please beware of traffic from either direction as you do this.

There are lakes everywhere in Wisconsin, but the Madison area is built on five lakes known as the Yahara chain, and each has its own personality.

If you head to the University of Wisconsins student union, youll find great partying on the lakes edge, and if you head a mile west, you can reach a mile-long peninsula known as Picnic Point that is so skinny at the edge it will make you feel as if youre walking on the water. ding two water features.
