Thanks for stopping to say hi at the farmers market! Hope you liked the candle and don't forget to try adding our Lavender syrup to one of those Old Fashioneds! :) 💜

Sandwich Bar guy here. Thanks for stopping by, I'm glad you enjoyed my food!

I grew up in Janesville. So thrilled to see the downtown make a come back. Skellys, the Buckhorn, aqua jays. Oh man, the memories!

@markp2827 6 дней назад

I grew up in Janesville, left in 1984, onto Phoenix AZ. I used to park in the parking lot you are walking and talking about the murals, while working at a shoe store that used to be behind you on the corner! I go back to visit every so often, and am so happy to see downtown coming back to life! The Aqua Jays...always were fun to see, and Traxler Park, where they perform, always had a great July 4 celebration and fireworks. Great video! Brought back many memories! Had a lot of fun growing up there!

@NewstateNomads 6 дней назад

I love hearing those memories from your past. That is awesome and I'm so glad we could help you take a trip down memory lane. They have done an amazing job investing in the downtown area. And yes! We were blown away by the Aqua Jays, what an amazing team! So glad you enjoyed our video, thanks so much for watching! -Katelyn

We had our daughter, who lives in Janesville, watch -she said you guys did a great job and you even noted some things she didn’t know about. You guys really highlight areas well!! Keep enjoying your travels and thank you for sharing!

That was a terrific video of our hometown. Having been full time RV'ers ourselves for 8 years, we remember discovering all of the fascinating and fun locations and surprises along the way. We're so glad you enjoyed your stop in Janesville, and thank you for the great report. Safe travels.

Janesville looks great, coming from a MN gal! I couldn’t believe you have never been a supper club before. We love them, they are the best!

This is charming. My mom grew up in Janesville and so did my cousins. Sterling North built the canoe he talks about in Rascal in my grandfather’s shop class. My grandpa was a teacher at the elementary school in Edgerton.

@NewstateNomads 8 дней назад

That is SO cool! We loved learning about Sterling North and Rascal. What a neat connection to your family, thanks for sharing that! We had a great time visiting the area. 😍

@danrandall794 8 дней назад

Another great video. I have driven past Janesville hundreds of times and had no clue. It is amazing how we drive thousands of miles to see stuff but miss places within a few hundred miles of home. I used to slip my boat close to a well know lighthouse but never stopped. With that said I have seen lighthouses from the Florida Keys to California. I was in a lighthouse that people are not allowed in when we gave the Coast Guard a hand when their helicopter broke down when they were doing some maintenance at that lighthouse but again never stopped at the one a couple miles from my boat. What a dope!! Anyway thanks for showing and sharing! You guys rock.

@NewstateNomads 6 дней назад

I can totally relate! There are so many places in Virginia, where I grew up, that I never explored. Like that Old Rag hike we did last Fall in our Shenandoah NP video. Isn't that funny how that happens?! That lighthouse story you shared is super cool! Howard and I love checking them out on our travels. Hope you can get to Janesville one day, maybe next time you're passing through :) Thanks for watching!!

@danrandall794 6 дней назад

That lighthouse was on Passage Island that is very close to Isle Royale wink wink.

@turnbullstravels735 День назад

I had never heard of Janesville…thanks for this! Adding it to our 2025 list.

@terrygillis9909 8 дней назад

Howard & Kaitlyn Love this episode. Having seen all but two US National Parks, great to begin to explore other great spots. This is one we need to go to for sure. Thanks for sharing.

@NewstateNomads 8 дней назад

So glad you enjoyed this one!! It's such a great area to explore, we hope you love it as much as we did! Thanks for watching 🙂

@KnTAdventures791 3 дня назад

Well this video was a total shocker. I expected it to be pretty cool as I grew up 8 miles out of Janesville and spent much of my youth in the late 70s and early 80s carrying on in various parts of Janesville including Traxler Park, but I did not expect you to camp at Blackhawk Campground, where we were seasonal campers for 7 years as a kid and I had a giant 'holy S.' moment when you went to The Buckhorn! I was just shocked. My dad played the Hammond Organ a number of times at The Buckhorn and as a kid I would help him set up (as a Hammond and a Leslie speaker are quite the handful to move). Janesville is a lot different than when I grew up there and though we don't get that way very often, next time we do we're going to spend at least a day there...and we're going to camp at Blackhawk! Thanks for the unexpected trip down memory lane!

Great video! I live 30 minutes from Janesville. Wi has so much to offer!

@NewstateNomads 8 дней назад

Thanks, Julie! We had such a great time exploring. Wisconsin is awesome!

@jjones5424 8 дней назад

I've driven through Janesville many many times over the years and I have never slowed down long enough to smell the flowers!

@NewstateNomads 8 дней назад

Aww well hopefully on your next journey through, we've given you some things to check out! ☺

@karlamartins2761 8 дней назад

Great episode. Brought back many memories of my childhood. My family and I used to go there all the time. We used to go to Buckhorn. Wonderful food. We loved the water show.

@Victory1981 3 дня назад

I visited Janesville on a roadtrip to the Wisconsin Dells. I hiked an Ice Age Trail section there, and I went in those tunnels off the trail, which were cool. I also hiked some Ice Age Trail segments further north at Devil’s Lake SP…etc. The fried cheese curds are the bomb.

@erics607 5 дней назад

If you ever come back this way, I suggest you check out the Edgewater Supper Club in Jefferson. It has a completely different feel to it than Buckhorn. The building has been there since the 1920's, and Al Capone has been there several times. When you walk in, it's as if you have gone back in time 80-100 years. They didn't make the ceilings or any of the rooms bigger. They have the patio dining room where the ceiling is quite low, and the entire room tilts towards the river and it's a weird feeling. They have made some modern updates to the building, but they wanted to keep that old time feel to the place. A lot of supper clubs now have TV's that you can watch while you're waiting or eating, and they have none of that here. They want you to talk to people around you.

@gregtrain1 8 дней назад

Welcome to my neck of the woods! I'm an hour north of there. In the Capitol city. Hopefully you had some battered fried cheese curds while you were here.

@NewstateNomads 8 дней назад

Thanks so much! It was so fun exploring the area. Still so much to check out in Wisconsin. We had some, but I think we need more 😂

@jkandkiminthecamper 8 дней назад

I used to live in Madison and would go to Janesville sometimes...it's come a long way in 20+ years!!

@NewstateNomads 8 дней назад

They've clearly invested a lot into the downtown area, we were really impressed!

@tracybyrd2033 7 дней назад

This made me want to go there! ❤

@NewstateNomads 6 дней назад

Oh yay!! That's what we love to hear! ❤

@williamthawley9251 8 дней назад

Janesville, is a place we have to get too. in the lehigh valley in pa, we have st lukes anderson campus, that has an even bigger sunflower field.

@NewstateNomads 8 дней назад

We loved it! Such a good mix of things to see & do! Sounds like that sunflower field is awesome!

@bsheetz7203 5 дней назад

I was at that show when you were there. Thought it was the best theme yet. You really highlighted some of the best parts of the area. Thanks for posting. P.S.. Found out my neighbor made your sandwich so I am sure it was tasty.

@ready2roamrv289 8 дней назад

I lived in Milwaukee for 3 years and didn't even touch the tip of the iceberg of all there is to see in WI. Can't wait to do some more traveling in Cheese Country. 😊🧀

@NewstateNomads 8 дней назад

Can definitely see you mean. It was our first time visiting Wisconsin, and we're already making plans to return! 👍🏻 - Howard

@TravelSmallLiveBig 7 дней назад

Wow on the waterskiers! Everything about that town looks amazing! The art, the gardens, murals, food, author's house - wow! How do you find all of these things to do & places to see? I think I spend too much time on researching cool campgrounds / campsites and not enough time researching what to do.

@NewstateNomads 6 дней назад

The Janesville Tourism Board helped us quite a bit with this one! But we both do a lot of research ahead of our trips. 😅 It can take a while, but definitely worth it! But that's why we do the hard work and share our videos so you know what to do in a certain destination! 😉❤

How long are you 2 in Wisconsin? Kelly and I love following your adventures. . We're currently in Madison and would love to run into you two.

@alfrazi2194 8 дней назад

Kelly is a travel nurse and we've used plenty of your videos as guides to different parts of the country.

@NewstateNomads 6 дней назад

Hey you two! Sadly we aren't there anymore :( We had plans to travel throughout the state for about a month and a half, but we had a family emergency down in Florida. So we left Wisconsin in early August. This was the last video we were able to film there. We heard Madison is awesome though! Hope you two are enjoying it!

@johndrenning5453 7 дней назад

We are headed to Wisconsin (the Dells and Milwaukee) the end of June 2025. We now want to stop in Janesville! Do you think the sunflower fields are blooming in June or are we too early?

@NewstateNomads 6 дней назад

That's awesome!! It's definitely worth a stop! June might be a little too early for the sunflowers, but we were talking to the owner of Skelly's Farm Market and she said it really depends on how the growing season goes and what type of weather they've had, so you might get lucky! They do a really good job updating their website and Facebook page with the current events, so just check as you get closer. Even if the sunflowers aren't blooming yet, it's still worth a visit for the milkshakes and other goodies!
