  Dr. Evermor's Forevertron — Sumpter, WI

  Image Source

  You're a creative spirit who can't be contained. You'll be right at home exploring the world's largest scrap metal sculpture, created by Tom Every (who also created pieces for the famous House On The Rock). "Dr. Evermor" is a Victorian inventor character imagined by Every, and the Forevertron is a magnificent machine designed to launch him "into the heavens on a magnetic lightning force beam." The sculpture includes two of Thomas Edison's dynamos from the 1880s, lightning rods, the decontamination chamber from the Apollo 11 spacecraft, and many other historical gems that Every has salvaged since the 1980s.

  Sputnik Crash Site — Manitowoc, WI

  You're a major nerd (though this probably isn't news to you). Fire up your teleporter and check out Sputnikfest. Sputnik IV was a seven-ton Soviet satellite launched on May 14, 1960 in the midst of the space race. When it broke up on September 6, 1962, most of it burned up in the atmosphere — but a few pieces of debris landed scattered across Wisconsin. One of the largest, a 20-pound hunk of metal, crashed in the middle of the street in Manitowoc where it was discovered by two policemen on patrol. (A plaque and a metal ring in the street mark the spot.) After a bit of confusion, a quick check with a Geiger counter, and verification by the Smithsonian, the half-melted hunk was returned to the Soviets. You can see a replica of it in the Rahr-West Art Museum in Manitowoc, which also showcases paintings by Georgia O'Keeffe, Picasso, and Andy Warhol. Every September, the town commemorates the landing with Sputnikfest: its delightfully weird celebration of all things outer space.

  The Mustard Museum — Middleton, WI

  You're a lovable goofball who can't wait for lunch — just like Barry Levenson MS’73, JD’74, who quit his job as assistant attorney general of Wisconsin in 1992 to become the founder and curator of "this most improbable museum." The place is a foodie's paradise. Not only is the museum free (featuring more than 6,000 mustards from all 50 states and more than 70 countries), but there are also extensive free tastings available for almost everything on sale. Not a fan of mustard? Prepare to be converted; the highly knowledgeable staff has a knack for helping visitors find the perfect jar for them, even if they've never enjoyed mustard before. (And yes, they ship.)

  Elvis Presley's Heroic Moment — Madison, WI

  Image Source

  Your heart belongs to the King of Rock 'n' Roll. The next time you're on East Washington Avenue in Madison, stop by the tiny abandoned gas station just west of Stoughton Road. Around 1 a.m. on June 24, 1977, the teenaged son of the gas station owner was attacked by two other teens. At that moment, two limos stopped at a nearby red light — and who should be in the second limo but Elvis Presley himself? Elvis jumped from the car — by some accounts, still wearing the jumpsuit from that evening's show — and rushed to break up the fight, declaring "I'll take you on!" as he did a few karate moves. The stunned teens recognized him and stopped fighting, preferring to shake the King's hand instead. Fifty-two days later, Elvis passed away. A small stone monument marks the site of the incident.
