I wrote a story about the (much smaller) Mars Cheese Castle for a j-school class at Marquette and am delighted the business is still in the family.
For the @washingtonpost.com travel section, I wrote about the Mars Cheese Castle, which IS a castle and DOES sell cheese but is located on the side of the highway in Wisconsin, not on Mars.
A literal castle full of cheese? Only in Wisconsin.
Mars Cheese Castle is more than a roadside curiosity and a store. It has become a symbol for all things Wisconsin.
