This Wisconsin city is anything but ordinary. Here’s why.

[@richardwasserman]

You pronounced the name correctly.

[@donreed]

What name?

[@richardwasserman]

@@donreed Shawano.

[@donreed]

@@richardwasserman Thanks! (Notice the "Translate to English"!)

[@mrnosaj71]

I had no idea Sun Drop was native, I miss it... I really love how you two show me Wisconsin that I had no idea is there. I'm 53 in 2024 I remember the epic road trips to all other states, I even moved out west, I'm back home and realize that our state rules!

[@gleaner222]

Glad to see you back in Wisconsin!

[@richardfreimund3426]

I listen to records all the time makes me feel comfortable

[@us1fedvet]

Lots of great places in NE Wisconsin.

[@jimanddorispielbauer1854]

Sight Seeing Sally and Meandering Marty - Luv you guys! Keep traveling. I’ll keep watching,

[@davidross5169]

I could smell the inside of that coffee shop.

[@williamrankin8440]

Me and my family moved here 24 years ago. My wife and I liked the small town aspect and that SHAWANO was close enough to GB and Appleton but far enough to be it’s own city. The downtown was in a bit of decline at the time. The Hartwig family, the Stock sisters and Gilling brothers as well as others are owed recognition for turning the tide. While I may grumble about the traffic and people that invade our community each summer I am proud to call SHAWANO home.

[@benhartwig1993]

Glad you enjoyed the museum and were able to add it to your trip! Fun Fact: In the front hallway you can see barbershop display with Leonard Hartwig's barber chair, where he cut John Dillinger's hair! See you next time and thanks for visiting!

[@128titanic]

Hello, Sally. Thank you so much.

[@glennjudd2467]

Old cemetery by mac Donald's! Something you don't see every day ! Sally, like your hat ! Happy Labor day weekend ! Another great video !

[@SightseeingSally]

Thank you Glenn! Happy Labor Day weekend to you, too!! I like hats, can you tell? 😉😁

I really loved this video. Maybe because Sally wasn't wearing her sunglasses and we could actually see her eyes!

[@kenwillis280]

Good video guys, love your work.

[@nancylindsay4255]

Happy to see that Shawano's downtown appears to be thriving!

[@SightseeingSally]

Yes!!

[@don_at_large]

My Grandparents lived and died in Shawano. I spent a good part of my early teenage and young adult times in Shawano. They had a house on the Lake, and also Wolf River. Lots of Crappie fishing and good times.

[@renegadetenor]

As soon as you said, "40 miles NW of Green Bay", you had me, because I knew precisely what that is. Its my childhood summer place, responsible for seeding my wanderlust, that has now lasted a lifetime!

[@TheBenrogue]

Great video! I was born in Shawano (1960) and grew up in Caroline (Shawano County), on the Mighty Embarrass river. Great place to be a kid.

[@commonsenserules7995]

Born in Shawano 1952. Was at the Caroline ballroom several times for weddings. Parents were from the Bowler /Gresham area. Haven't been there in years.

[@tedrydell]

Come Again. Nice video lots to see in area including a tour around Shawano Lake you could feature airport, Wolf River, North Park on lake, Cecil and hey catch a kayaker or some other craft on the lake. Been to the museum Sundrop often, they even have a Weekend every year called Sundrop Days. Lived there 20 years, now close to your home area west of Crivitz . Nice city tour.

[@SightseeingSally]

Noted! Thank you for all the great suggestions. I was thinking the historical museum complex might be worth a look, too?

[@RichardFelstead1949]

Great video guys. Greetings from Australia.

[@SightseeingSally]

Awesome 🤩 Thank you!

[@debbiel9843]

You always find such fun and unique WI places to visit that my list of weekend trips is endless. Thank you. :)

[@1954shadow]

The barbershop I went to as a kid, had the Coke cooler with ice chunks in it, man, was that ice cold Coke a treat after a haircut!

[@randygyulay5114]

Very interesting and thriving small city. Thanks for the tour.

[@tplugnickel]

Interesting, Thx for the tour

[@SightseeingSally]

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you 😊

[@BobG-t2h]

My hometown. I miss it!

[@mikelew3700]

Shawano cafe has the best food in that whole town.. and it's not just because they have the best service and friendly staff working for Justin and Katie which are both awesome people. . location is highway 22 & 29. Otherwise Shawano is a great town my family started buying land in this town in 1967 back when they had parking meters on main Street. And a old fashion ice cream shop which just closed a few years ago. I live on South main Street i moved up here full time 25 years ago because I always loved this town God bless the United States of America and God bless Shawano. Blessings from fine line lewy peace out.

[@kennykittrell2549]

Hello Sally and Marty from Longview Texas

[@DanielRaeder]

I was born here :) - Great to see the Daily Drip survived since it first opened decades ago when I left

[@caroleevans704]

Went there many times as a child! My great aunt lived in a small town near there.

[@JuhnnyPaint]

They have an excellent public beach, for family picnic grills & Picnic Tables Water is warm Unlike lake Michigan where the water is freezing cold. Well not frozen but close.

[@rockmanrespect]

I go to Shawano every 4th of July! Love the Sun Drop Museum, the Farm Inn on Main, Mojo's Electronics, and other places! Stubborn Bros has great burgers. If you come back, check out Bottle House Antiques. Thank you Sally & Marty!

[@dabaflub]

I'm surprised McDonalds doesn't have more cemetaries right next door. They could offer them as a special deal after eating!

[@JohnShinn1960]

A combo meal only an undertaker could love. RIP!! 👍🤪

[@SightseeingSally]

Sounds like a great marketing opportunity…

[@DavidKoppana-iq8jr]

SHAWANO Bet there’s some Packer fans in the city. Happy Labor Day weekend.

[@anitagolke1678]

Exactly !!

[@dragonfly32c22]

My Grandparents had a cottage on Shawano Lake, many good times were had there as a kid..

[@UncleRobsGarage]

The wife and I used to haul hay from North Dakota to shawano.

[@Jay_the_Caffeinator]

Awesomesauce!! Thank you Sally for visiting more of my Childhood/family places I remember. I starting drinking Sun-drop when I was 2ish. There is a photo of me in footed PJs, sleeping, sucking my thumb and my arm wrapped around an empty Sun-drop bottle. Interesting note from my experience, Sun-drop bottled in Green Bay doesn't taste as good as the ones bottled in Shawano. Better quality of water. Also, I was born at Shawano County Hospital ('73). I wish I had taken my kids to the Sun-drop museum when I was in Bonduel a couple of months ago for a funeral.

[@JWayne-ej4jy]

Y'all are both looking happy and healthy out enjoying life🎉

[@kristijagler2778]

Always love me some Sally and Marty.

[@patriciaguenzler9150]

Wow I will be there sometime. In September going fishing my friends parents were born there so excited to see thank you both 👍👍

[@SightseeingSally]

You’re welcome! Shawano is such a great little city. We truly enjoyed our day there.

[@onrycodger]

What a Cool😎 little museum! I'd still be meandering around.🤠👍

[@SightseeingSally]

😁 Twig’s is a great little museum, isn’t it?

[@dalewilson7434]

My aunt and uncle lived there for ever. Nice town..

[@darrellashby3906]

An unusual town indeed. Looks like a fun place to spend some time. Thanks for introducing Shawano to us! Thanks you two!!👍😀 P.S. Now I’ve got a hankering for some pumpkin cake…

[@SightseeingSally]

Thanks Darrell! Glad you enjoyed seeing s’more of Wisconsin’s finest. The pumpkin cake was out of this world 🤤

[@sunsetcaptiva8573]

I think that was "Home decor" not "Home medic"... I really enjoy you and Marty's videos!

[@toniacraig2313]

My Mom and Dad got married in Shawano in 1963...at the courthouse..mom was from White Lake and dad from Elton ❤

[@tracygraczykowski292]

We love Farm Inn. Delicious breakfasts.

This was our first time there and definitely won’t be our last. I still need to try their pie… 🥧 🤤

Hey guys you were in my home base sorry I missed ya i’ll have to check out Evelyn’s headstone I walk Woodlawn quite often next time i’ll treat yeah to an ice cream cone at McDonalds while we gaze out at the cemetery next door 😂thanks again 😊

[@colacola2]

One thing you should do is when going in stores Film the stuff inside ? Not just buildings outside OK Maybe ? Thanks SALLY & MARTY ❤ 😊

[@RichardFelstead1949]

You'd need to get permission from store owners.

[@crashsteale3952]

I was just there today! (To be fair, I live 20 minutes north. Lol) Shawano has a lot of interesting sites. Glad you visited!

[@edvalentine5127]

Fabulous video! Again!!!😊

My husband and I drove from south of Detroit to Hurley Wisconsin on our honeymoon. What a strange city, of course we drove through Michigan then back home through Wisconsin,Chicago and home. We got a parking ticket in Hurley and were told at two bars not to spend the night because we asked too many questions. Our last name was Hurley.

[@joannunemaker6332]

What a cute little town. I enjoyed this video. 😊❤

[@music1nut]

Terrific episode.

[@1954shadow]

Let me guess, they didn’t have any, “Bay City Rollers,” albums.

[@SightseeingSally]

Darn it, I forgot to look.

[@dalewilson7434]

If you want a small town, try Zachow, it's between pulaski and bonduel

[@richardfreimund3426]

And because of most properties, they thought were heathenistic, they tried to get him closed down. They started to open up a little bit more as I left to newer things. I think that was after Rama died. But at least something is happening better in shauno. Now i'm glad to see you growing back

[@markgoggin1015]

I stayed in Shawano when I went to Pulaski for Polka Days. Very nice place to spend time. Next time you are there, go to Heritage Park. Some early history of the area on display.

Hey Sally, happened upon your channel and now I am a new follower. Live in Madison. Was looking through your material, have you ever covered Washington Island? Also, didn't find much in Door county, but it may be I just didn't look hard enough.

[@johnsykesiii1629]

I had to chuckle. When I was in college (c.1968) I had a summer job for a business located on US-22 . . . in Springfield, NJ.

[@SightseeingSally]

That’s a mere 1,020 miles away 😜

Next time you go to Shawano, check out Doc's Harley. He has a museum and small zoo and a great restaurant

We actually did a video there 4 or 5 years ago. Doc’s is on Hwy 29 about 15 miles from Shawano.

[@hdtravel1]

I'm so disappointed because I wanted to see you both swig an ice cold Sun Drop soda !!!

[@JohnShinn1960]

17:27 Could "homedec" be an abbreviation for "home decor"? Thinking about it it could go both ways. That and I've never seen Sundrop sold here in Maryland, not that it isn't but I'd sure like to try one. What's it taste like? What soda does it resemble most? Anyone? Do I ask too many questions? How was your day? Thanks Sally, Thanks Marty. Stayin tuned! 👍🤠

[@SightseeingSally]

Geez Louise, I sure messed that up. 🤦🏼‍♀️I realized afterwards when I was editing the video that it was supposed to be home decor. 😂
