In this column: a major update! But first, a digression/road trip recommendation. If you have a few free days, want to check out another art-filled small town, and don’t mind a six-hour drive, Spring Green, Wisconsin is worth the trip. The downtown is cute, but Spring Green’s real tourist attractions are found outside the city – two massive, strange mansions in its leafy hills, Alex Jordan’s House on the Rock and Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin. (I promise that this column winds back around to Granite Falls and our program updates quite soon.)
