Sparta, Wisconsin

Located about 25 miles east of LaCrosse, Wisconsin.
Known as the "Bicycling Capitol of America", this smaller community has a lot to offer from golfing to movies, fishing and concerts in the park during thee summer months. Upon entering from the east, you will find a giant statue of Ben Biken' the towns mascot. Leaving to the north, there is a large statue of a Spartan in the front of the High School and to the northeast, you may find a giant eyeball watching your every move! Speckled with many Victorian houses, this town is truly unique. Once having many bath houses, it is now home to a yearly Butterfest festival.
