Union Grove , located at the intersection of U.S. 45 and Hwy. 11, is home of the Great Lakes Dragaway , a popular site for drag racing. Burlington This fun-loving city has an international reputation – that is if you can trust anyone who tells you about it. That’s because the city is home to the 80-year-old Burlington Liars Club , which every New Year’s Eve bestows upon one person the dubious honor of being the tallest-tale teller. Truth be told, Burlington has a lot to offer. Located at the junction of the White and Fox rivers, Burlington has long been a crossroads of commerce. It is the Midwest home of Nestlé USA and celebrates all things chocolate, as evidenced by the local Chocolate Experience Museum . Every spring it also hosts the annual ChocolateFest, a three-day extravaganza that features carnival rides, games, music and, of course, chocolate treats. Burlington is close to Lake Geneva, a popular resort town.
