A Saloon That Allowed Children Their Own Child-Size Beers, Wisconsin, 1890

Updated fact about Wisconsin children drinking alcohol law

In Wisconsin, it's legal for anyone who's 14 or older to be served alcohol. They just need to be with a parent, and there has to be ID to back this up.

We are the site of the last foreign invasion of Britain. In 1797 a large French force led by an American landed and had their asses kicked by the local women after they got drunk.

One of the local castles (carew castle) is haunted by an ape.

An academic argued that Elvis Presley is named after the area. St Elvis is near the Preseli Hills. He wasn't taken too seriously.

The ghost ape is awesome

That Elvis story I heard of that to. My mom told me that story when I was kid.

Goes to show how stuff becomes folklore
