EXIT 92: Ulao's assassination connection
Why you should care:
Just east of Exit 92 is a food-and-drink spot that's easy to pronounce in a place that's not: Ulao. Mike "Juice" Gannon caters to a familiar crowd at Juice's Ghost Town – food, drinks and some interesting reading material.
"You read stuff about him, he was kind of nuts," Gannon said.
Charles Giteau
Charles Giteau is the most famous, or infamous, resident of Ulao. His childhood home still stands less than a mile from the restaurant. In 1881, Giteau assassinated James Garfield, the 20th President of the United States, at a train station in Washington.
How to get there:
Juice's Ghost Town – 990 Ulao Rd, Grafton, WI 53024
