This is only one of four places on earth that are the geographical center of a hemisphere.... and a can now say I'm a member of the "45 x 90 Club". (An actual club that you can sign up for if you make your way to this marker)!
So yes, this isn't much, but that's the charm! Plus, the other 3 locations are almost impossible to get to. 2 are in the middle of oceans and the other is high in the mountains of China. So if you find yourself traveling between Green Bay, WI and Minneapolis, MN on Hwy 29 in North-central Wisconsin, make a turn a to the north (a couple of miles) and check this spot out! Road signs help you get to the destination.
Once you are there, you will find a small parking lot off the side of the road, along with a well marked gravel trail that leads you into a cornfield to the geographic marker. The trail is maybe a quarter of a mile long and has multiple benches if you need a rest or just want to take in the corn field view!
Along the trail there are a number of informational markers that explain and identify some history, facts and trivia. The area is very well maintained and actually a nice stroll along the edge of a small woods and then into the field.
This may truly be an "if you build it, they will come" type attraction, but I thought is was kind of fun and relaxing. Maybe it's no "worlds largest thermometer" or "biggest ball of twine".... call me weird, but I like to visit this stuff! read more
