Thanks for this episode! We love Dodgeville and the surrounding areas. It would be nice to see you visit Mineral Point.

Gotta be one of the places of all time

Wow you are doing exactly what I wanted to do around age 11 I had an idea to travel to the small towns and do a show. God bless you

I have to say that even though I am from Ohio, have lived many places in the SE US and now live in Florida, I love these shows about places in the Upper Midwest. I'm gonna have to do some traveling in this part of the country. There are some amazing places, people and history in this region of the country. You all do a wonderful job featuring this region.

Been a solid week for me. PBS covered my first hometown on Monday with Wisconsin Hometown Stories(Appleton) and now John is in Dodgeville, my second hometown.

I heard you guys are creepers to outsiders and socially really awkward. Not a place I would want to visit…
