Welcome to Truths of the American Small Town: a show highlighting what life is really like in places we typically only drive through or fly over. In this series we shine a light on the fact that every place has a story to tell.
In this episode we’re highlighting Washington Island, Wisconsin: an island between Lake Michigan and Green Bay, and a 30-minute boat ride away from the mainland. It features a fusion of historical influences from Iceland, France, and Native Americans, the highest consumption of bitters in the world, the former summer residence of a progressive-era economist, a lush field of lavender and a school for Fiber Arts, and a close-knit community of only 700 residents.
