Trivia questions about Wisconsin, hardest first
Mounds, fur traders and lead is the stiffest round, with names from the French years. Statehood, reform and dairy rewards anyone who knows the Wisconsin Idea. Lakes, ridges and the Dells is a map round, and Cheese, kringle and festivals is the one to save for the end of the night.
