About Wisconsin
Wisconsin is one of the nation’s leading dairy producers and is known as “America’s Dairyland”; it is particularly famous for its cheese.[18][19] The state is also famous for its beer, particularly and historically in Milwaukee, most notably as the headquarters of the Miller Brewing Company. Wisconsin has some of the nation’s most permissive alcohol laws and is known for its drinking culture.[20][21] Its economy is dominated by manufacturing, healthcare, information technology, and agriculture—specifically dairy, cranberries, and ginseng.[22] Tourism is also a major contributor to its economy.[23] The gross domestic product in 2020 was $348 billion.[24] Wisconsin is home to one UNESCO World Heritage Site, comprising two of the most significant buildings designed by Wisconsin-born architect Frank Lloyd Wright: his studio at Taliesin near Spring Green and his Jacobs I House in Madison.[25] The Republican Party was founded in Wisconsin in 1854; in modern elections, it is considered a swing state.
