Happy Birthday to the Badger State! We’re badgers for a reason! Be proud of what we do! On Wisconsin!

Wisconsin turns 174 years young today! On this day in 1848, Wisconsin became the 30th state to enter the Union with an area of 56,154 square miles, comprising 1/56 of the United States at the Time.
