Washington County: One to watch

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Located just north of Milwaukee, Washington County is a northern gateway to Wisconsin’s largest city, but the area offers plenty of attractions of its own. Learn more on this week’s airing of Discover Wisconsin, a half hour travel show featuring hidden hamlets and surprising secrets from all over the Dairy State.

With easy access to metro Milwaukee, Washington County offers the perfect balance of small-town hospitality and fast-paced entertainment. For example, the show takes you to the Wisconsin Automotive Museum in Hartford, Wisconsin’s largest auto museum. You’ll also see the Sila Lydia Bast Bell Museum & Fire Hall in Germantown, which showcases a collection of over 5,000 bells in a restored 1870 barn. You’ll soar above it all in the Annual Hartford Balloon Rally, one of Wisconsin’s largest summertime balloon launches.

Discover Wisconsin promises you’ll want to experience Washington County for yourself, and when you do, consider our discount coupon for the AmericInn Lodge and Suites in Germantown.  This coupon deal saves you 50% off the price of a one-night stay, including free wireless high speed internet access, free breakfast, indoor heated pool, and hot tub.
