So now that school has officially consumed your life for a couple weeks, let Dwight offer you some more ideas of fun things to do around Madison. Here are some of Madison's "major atrractions."
*Prairie Village: Located a couple miles west of Madison, Prairie Village is a living history museum created from turn-of-the-century buildings moved from around the state to create a community that never was. You can take your friends camping and tour the village and go back to the"good old days." You’ll also find a gift shop, daily carousel rides (yay!) and train rides (sweet! train rides) during special events. From the Steam Threshing Jamboree to Railroad Days, Prairie Village has some pretty cool stuff to keep you occupied and away from your homework. Sound interesting? Check out their website at http://www.prairievillage.org/.
*Smith-Zimmermann Museum: Bored during your break from classes. Take some time to venture into the Smith-Zimmerman Museum located right on DSU's campus! And...admission is FREE!
*Lake County Speedway is just a few minutes south of Madison on Hwy 19. Race fans can head out to the track every Saturday night at 8 p.m. for the excitement. Bored on Saturday night? Head on out to the races and hang out with your friends. Pick your favorite car and see if they win! Want more information, visit the website at http://www.husets-speedway.com/lakecounty/index.htm.
* The "Giant Buffalo."He has a mullet and he's probably the biggest buffalo you'll ever see!! The super cool buffalo is located on the intersection of HWY 34 Bypass and Washington Ave. Getting your picture taken by the buffalo is a must for all college students. :)
