In 1945 the Canton of Glarus in Switzerland sent two men to America to search for land that some of their residents could emigrate to America to escape the lack of jobs in their native Glarus. Nicolas Duerst and Fridolin Streiff found and purchased 1,280 acres of land that is now New Glarus. It is said that the land reminded them of their native Switzerland.

Washington, DC is to lying what Wisconsin is to cheese.
Dennis Miller
If you're looking for can-do, earthy-crunchy attitude then you've got to go to Wisconsin.
Dar Williams
Wisconsin's a special place.
Brett Favre
I love being from Wisconsin.
Tanya Fischer
But the Wisconsin tradition meant more than a simple belief in the people. It also meant a faith in the application of intelligence and reason to the problems of society. It meant a deep conviction that the role of government was not to stumble along like a drunkard in the dark, but to light its way by the best torches of knowledge and understanding it could find.
Adlai Stevenson
Other than motherhood, the eight years that I spent at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, I have incredibly fond memories of. It's a beautiful place, with four seasons up in Wisconsin. And really wonderful people.
Laurel Clark
I've gotten to know a lot of great people here in all the different sports. It's fun. It's fun to get involved where you live. And this is where I live. I'm a registered voter here. I have my Wisconsin driver's license.
Aaron Rodgers
I'm a Wisconsin kid, so I like brats and burgers and stuff like that. Cheese curds.
J. J. Watt
As I've often said, Wisconsin's greatest strength continues to be the dedicated, hardworking people of our state. They go to work everyday, pay their taxes, and raise their kids with good, Midwestern values.
