Jo and I took a ride one day west of Beloit to Brodhead and Monroe in the heart of the cheese making country. (The pictures are taken by a Canon A1100IS 12.2 mp camera.)
Fortunately the Brodhead Railroad Museum was open while we were in the area. Above and below are two views of a Fairbanks Morse switcher locomotive made in Beloit while I lived there.
The white sign behind me modestly claims “Through this portal are served the best cheese sandwiches in the world.” When visiting, I order a swiss on rye bread with horseradish mustard. GREAT!
And here is the bar area. Sorry that the signs are not readily legible.
Painted farm animal statues decorate the sidewalks.
Downtown Monroe has the traditional square in which the county courthouse is located. This one still is in use, including the courtroom.
I asked one of the locals where he buys his cheese, and he referred us to this store a few miles from Monroe. The cheese is delicious!
