Description: Away for the Weekend: Midwest is the vital Midwest travel title, with year-round weekend getaways to some of the most frequently visited states in the U.S.

What's there to do in the Midwest over a weekend? Once again, Eleanor Berman offers an exhaustive list of choices in this new and revised installment of the Away for the Weekend series. You can visit Frank Lloyd Wright's house -- Eleanor tells you what to expect and how to get there. Why not smell the fragrant apple blossoms at a spring orchard festival? This book lets you know what is going on twelve months of the year. Want to stroll beneath the magnificent sandstone dunes in the Wisconsin Dells, or fish the same streams as a young Ernest Hemingway, or explore the shores of Lake Michigan? Eleanor Barman is the source for information on where to stay, where to dine, and what to do with kids while you're there.

Each of the 52 seasonally arranged weekends is described by Eleanor Berman with contagious enthusiasm and includes driving directions, area maps, and listings of restaurants and accomodations for every budget. Icons mark the stops that are great for kids or for a long weekend. All destinations are within 300 miles of Chicago and within easy reach for weekenders from Milwaukee, Detroit, and Indianapolis.
