If you go geocaching with your GPS, there are some great finds in the area.
From Chicago
- Take I-90 west to Hwy 20 west at the outskirts of Rockford (i.e., the second Hwy 20 intersection). Caution on the exit, since some guests have missed it because of changes to the exit. To exit I-90 on Hwy 20 (going toward Galena/Freeport), you'll be approaching the exit that's 5 MILES PAST the well-marked Belvidere Service Plaza. This exit (about 5 MILES past this service plaza) is on the right hand side with a sign that reads:
The sign is before an overpass and the exit is immediately after the overpass; the sign does NOT say Freeport or Galena. After exiting onto Hwy 20 (there will be an outside waterpark on your right visible from Hwy 20, stay on Hwy 20 to Freeport (Hwy 39-51 will break south as you're looping around Rockford); you'll be driving about 40 minutes to 55 minutes to reach Freeport (we suggest keeping your speed to 65MPH or less since the area is heavily patrolled by the police). Upon your approach to Freeport on Hwy 20, do not take "business 20". Remain on Hwy 20 going toward Galena, IL (follow the signs to Galena). Stay on 20 just past Freeport, then exit on Highway 26 and head north toward Monroe, WI. Highway 26 turns into Hwy 69 when you cross the Wisconsin border. Turn left, heading west, on County P, the first road over the border. Continue west on County P about four, hilly miles until you see our sign on the left (south) side of the road. At night, you'll know it's our farm by the red front porch light. Pull in the gravel driveway and you can park in the "guest parking" signed area.
From Milwaukee
- Take Highway 43 out of Milwaukee until you intersect Highway 81 in Beloit. Then take Highway 81 heading west (turning into Highway 11) toward Monroe. In the Monroe area, exit Highway 81/11 and take 69 south (making a left onto 69) and pass Monroe. Continue on 69 until County P (after County B) and make a right, heading west, onto County P. Continue west on County P about four, hilly miles until you see our sign on the left (south) side of the road. At night, you'll know it's our farm by the red front porch light we'll leave on. Pull in the gravel driveway and you can park in the "guest parking" signed area.
From Madison
- Head west on Highway 18/151 toward Dodgeville. In Verona, take 69 south to Monroe. 69 makes a VERY brief jaunt on 11 before you'll pick it up and continue south on 69. County P (after County B) will be the last road in Wisconsin. Turn right, heading west, onto County P. Continue west on County P about four, hilly miles until you see our sign on the left (south) side of the road. At night, you'll know it's our farm by the red front porch light we'll leave on. Pull in the gravel driveway and you can park in the "guest parking" signed area.
From Dubuque, Iowa
- Head east on Highway 11 toward Monroe. As you approach Browntown (before Monroe), make a right, heading south, on County M, passing through Browntown and down a big hill until it deadends on County B. Make a left, heading east, on County B, up a curvy hill and pass a cemetary until you come on Allen Road. Make a right, heading south, on Allen Road, veering left at the fork in the road until it deadends into County P. Make a left, heading east, on County P. We're the very first farm on the right hand (south) side of the road; the driveway is between small trees and evergreens (our farmhouse and B&B sign is actually past our driveway when coming from the west). At night, you'll know it's our farm by the red front porch light we'll leave on. Pull in the gravel driveway and you can park in the "guest parking" signed area.
