Around the Corner with John McGivern

Mineral Point

Season 2 Episode 2 | 29m 15sVideo has Closed Captions

Did you know that Mineral Point was the birthplace of Wisconsin?

If you knew that Mineral Point was the birthplace of Wisconsin, you are either a resident of Mineral Point or John Gurda! We did anticipate that it wouldn't be called Mineral Point if it weren't for minerals, so we couldn't wait to visit Merry Christmas Mine and the Pendarvis Historic Site. But we quickly learned that the main attraction today isn't zinc, it's art.
