Wisconsin is a state located in the Great Lakes region of the United States. The capital of the state is Madison, and the largest city is Milwaukee. Wisconsin's economy was originally based on farming (especially dairy), mining, and lumbering. In recent decades, service industries, especially medicine and education, have become dominant. Wisconsin's landscape, largely shaped by the Wisconsin glaciation of the last Ice Age, makes the state popular for both tourism and many forms of outdoor recreation.

For retirees, Wisconsin is a place with warm greetings and friendly neighbors. The unemployment rate is low and the cost of living is decent. There are more than 500 golf courses and an abundance of outdoor recreational activities for the active senior. Between nature hikes, hunting, boating, and fishing, there is never a shortage of things to do in Wisconsin. Though the winters can get cold and snowy, the summers are warm and filled with sunshine.
