WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE YOU MOVE TO WISCONSIN 
HISTORY & CULTURE
The ‘cheese state’ started out in the mid-17th century as a fur trading hotspot between European explorers and native tribes like the Ioway, Ho-Chunk and the Menominee.
THE BADGER STATE
Wisconsin is also nicknamed the Badger State and it is the proud host of the American Birkebeiner, the largest cross-skiing race in the United States.
CLIMATE
There are warm summers and snowy, cold winters – the kind that gives pleasure to fans of winter sports. Summer thunderstorms are frequent in northern counties as well as occasional hailstorms.
DRIVERS LICENSE
When it comes to updating your driver’s license, all you need to do is to present your current one along with other documents. You can take care of this at any local DMV.
REAL ESTATE
Wisconsin homes are listed at an average price of $228,288 with the median sales price at just above $198,000. If you want to know more, visit the Wisconsin Realtors Association.
MOVING & STORAGE
One of the secrets to successful relocation is working with a reputable company. Before your move to Wisconsin, be sure to check with the US DOT or the FMSCA to make sure your mover is legitimate.
