Home to the oldest settlement in the Midwest, Packer Country thrives off the rich, historical traditions forged by Jean Nicolet and those who have followed him. European settlers from Germany, France, Bohemia, Belgium, Ireland, Poland and Scandinavia brought their rich cultural traditions to create a true American melting pot. Packer Country's rich ethnic heritage continues to grow and diversify, but never forgets its roots as European influences can still be seen in the region's unique architecture, festive celebrations and smiling faces.

Whether looking to experience frontier life from a costumed guide at Heritage Hill State Park, explore the rich maritime heritage at the Roger's Street Fishing Village, appreciate the tradition and grandeur of Packer Country's oldest residents at the Oneida Nation Museum or explore Wisconsin and world history at the Neville Public Museum, Packer Country's heritage experiences are guaranteed to transport visitors to the early days of Wisconsin history.
