I stopped at Tyranena Brewery in Lake Mills on October 16, 2016 on my way home from Jefferson. I have been here several times before but it seemed unusually quiet on this day. I couldn’t figure out why until I remembered that all of my previous visits had been on the day of the Beer Run half marathon. So yes, it was a little more quiet: no big tent, or hundreds of runners milling around, and no big sound system. But it was nice to have a quiet day to have a beer in the tasting room before heading home.

I visited Jefferson on the afternoon of October 16, 2016. The courthouse is easy to find on Main Street, but the interesting thing is that the main entrances to both the courthouse and the law enforcement center are at the back of the building on Center Avenue. the building has obviously been remodeled several times. Across Main Street is the Jefferson Public library and just a block away in the direction of the river is the Jefferson Historical Museum and Jefferson City Hall. I walked down to Waterfront Park to see the Rock River.
