The great thing about living in Wisconsin is the abundance of cheese. Truly, everywhere you go, there is cheese, or a cheese store. But Mars Cheese Castle in Kenosha is truly the granddaddy of them all. You haven’t experienced cheese until you have visited this store.

This place has been an icon for over 60 years.
