Packer Country is obviously the place to be to experience the history and traditions of the Green Bay Packers. But the area’s rich history also comes alive at Heritage Hill State Historical Park, Hazelwood Historic Museum, Historic Rogers Street Fishing Village, the Oneida Nation Museum and the National Railroad Museum.

The area also features the Oneida Casino, Weidner Center for the Performing Arts, the Meyer Theatre and the Resch Center. In addition to Packers football, there’s also University of Wisconsin-Green Bay’s NCAA Division I college basketball, Green Bay Blizzard arena football and Green Bay Gamblers Junior A hockey.
