States like California, New York and Florida get a lot of fanfare, but every part of the United States has its own charm and interesting things to see. The Midwest – consisting of 12 states including Illinois, Ohio, the Dakotas and Wisconsin, among others – doesn’t have a reputation for being particularly glitzy, but the region is full of natural beauty, cool museums and fascinating cultural oddities. These are just a few of must-see attractions in the marvellous Midwest.
