Monday, Sept 8th: We will be driving about 80 miles roundtrip today. We will be driving to Chippewa Falls, WI with our first stop at the Chippewa Area History Center.

We will take a scenic drive to the Leinenkugel Brewery which was in operation for 157 years until recently. Then we head to Pam and Paul Orth’s acreage for a delicious meal. Be sure to bring a lawn chair so you can sit back and hear the adventures of John Quam’s World Tour in his 1928 Plymouth Roadster. Enjoy fresh popcorn from the antique Popcorn Wagon.
Tuesday, Sept 9th: We will be driving about 120 miles roundtrip today because we are headed to Wabasha, MN to the National Eagle Center, the “Eagle Capitol of the World”. After that amazing tour the fine Auxiliary ladies of the local VFW will have lunch waiting for us. We hopefully will still have room for some ice cream on our trip back to Menomonie. Supper is on your own.
Wednesday, Sept 10th: We are headed back to Chippewa Falls so expect to put on about another 80 miles roundtrip. We are going to start our day at The Graham Motor Museum in Lake Hallie, WI. This gem of a museum has an actual Shark-nosed Graham along with a number of rare and unique automobiles. We will catch lunch at Anderson’s ChicNFish before arriving at the Cook-Rutledge Mansion where we will get a private tour. Our day isn’t over yet, though, because we are going to stop at the Colfax Railroad Museum, where they have an exquisite display of railroad’s fine china. Supper is on your own.
Thursday, Sept 11th: We are going to take in some of the sites of our host city, Menomonie today. The spirits may move you during our private, possibly haunted, tour of The Mabel Tainter Theater. We will be enjoying lunch at the Cardinal Glass Industries Company before they give us a tour of their spectacular company, where they make plate glass. We will take in Ellsworth Creamery before we call it a day. Our banquet will be held at Jake’s Supper Club which is well known for its excellent food and fun atmosphere. Jake’s Supper Club, E5690 County Road D, Menomonie, WI. Social Hour 5:30-6:30 Meal to follow.
