Waukesha - Home to Les Paul & Gibson Guitar | Know Your Wisconsin

If you visit Waukesha, you might notice colorful guitar sculptures scattered throughout the city. This is because Gibson Guitar Company selected Waukesha for its eighth and ninth worldwide GuitarTown designation in 2012 and 2013 to honor the birth and final resting place of guitar legend Les Paul. Les Paul is the only person to be in both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the National Inventors Hall of Fame. He was not only a gold record performer but also an inventor of the solid-body electric guitar and many recording industry inventions. Remnants of his past such as his mother’s player piano, to early versions of what would become the Gibson solid-body electric guitar, can be found at the Waukesha County Museum. The immersive exhibit explores the innovative and tenacious spirit of Les. To further commemorate this music legend, Waukesha has dedicated many colorful murals to Les Paul that decorate the downtown. Maps are offered so visitors can take a self-guided walking tour of these sculptures and murals. <br /><br />Follow Discover Wisconsin on: <br />Instagram: https://bit.ly/3bJ0m7Y<br />Facebook: https://bit.ly/3aIpWZx<br />Twitter: https://bit.ly/2y35SDJ<br />Pinterest: https://bit.ly/3cQSDon<br /><br />Explore more:<br />Join the conversation: https://bit.ly/2R9hNGt<br />The Bobber blogs: https://bit.ly/2zAOfeZ<br />The Cabin podcasts: https://apple.co/38FHVPc

Aztalan State Park | Know Your Wisconsin

Aztalan State Park was established in the 1950s to preserve remnants of the ancient town known as Aztalan, Wisconsin’s first town. The group of people that migrated and built Aztalan originally came from America’s first city, a place we now call Cahokia in southern Illinois. Aztalan included characteristic monuments such as large earthen platform mounds that supported important buildings. The buildings were sometimes religious and sometimes the houses of important people. This historic site is upkept by Wisconsin’s DNR and a group of volunteers known as the Friends of Aztalan State Park. These volunteers are dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and enhancement of a unique, ceremonial, and residential Native American town. To learn more about this important piece of Wisconsin history, visitors can take a self-guided walking tour of Aztalan or visit the Aztalan Museum, located just north of the park.<br /><br />Follow Discover Wisconsin on: <br />Instagram: https://bit.ly/3bJ0m7Y<br />Facebook: https://bit.ly/3aIpWZx<br />Twitter: https://bit.ly/2y35SDJ<br />Pinterest: https://bit.ly/3cQSDon<br /><br />Explore more:<br />Join the conversation: https://bit.ly/2R9hNGt<br />The Bobber blogs: https://bit.ly/2zAOfeZ<br />The Cabin podcasts: https://apple.co/38FHVPc
