About : National Wisconsin Day recognizes the Badger State. Badger State was always been Rich in lead, copper, forest, and fertile farmland. According to oral history, the miners buried into the hillsides much like badgers for shelter instead of setting up more permanent homesteads. The first wave of settlers to the area also began the uprooting of the Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Chippewa and other indigenous people. By the turn of the century, the state was well known for its dairy farms and synonymous with cheese. This day was celebrated to value the resource in Badger.
