Around the second week of Oct., we are going to stay overnight in Dubuque IA and then do a little bit of the Great River Road drive going north. Then we are going to cut over to Baraboo WI. Does anyone have any suggestions on things to see along this drive?

Baraboo: Circus World Museum, Devil's Lake State Park, The International Crane Foundation

Prarie du Sac: Wollersheim Winery

Spring Green: The House on the Rock, Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin

Dodgeville: Governor Dodge State Park, Museum of Minerals & Gems

Mineral Point: Pendarvis State Historical Site

Prarie du Chien: Villa Louis, Wyalusing State Park

Belmont: First Capitol State Historical Site

Platteville: The Mining Museum

Cassville: Stonefield State Historical Site, Governor Dewey Homesite

Dubuque: Crystal Lake Cave, Arboretum & Botanical Gardens, Mathias Ham House Historic Site, Mississippi River Museum, Spirit of Dubuque Riverboat

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I really appreciate it.

Highly recommend hiking at Devil's Lake State Park near Baraboo. Trails up on the bluffs overlook the lake and provide amazing views. Also definitely recommend House on the Rock in Spring Green--gotta experience it to believe it. Plan on at least 2 or 3 hours there.
