North of Milwaukee, eastern Wisconsin is a melange of the industrial and the maritime, with a nod to agriculture, shaped by its proximity to Lake Michigan and the smaller Lake Winnebago . Of its towns, Appleton was the birthplace of escapologist Harry Houdini, Green Bay is home to the legendary Packers, and Oshkosh is a household name for its overalls and baby clothes, but it's all best seen as a prelude to the most romanticized part of the state, Door County .
