On point. Online. On, Wisconsin.

Yes. You saw a truck in that tree on I-43

truck in a tree clinton, wisconsin

For travelers moving up or down Interstate 43 near Clinton, Wisconsin, the area provides some fine sites. You can see the gently rolling hills carved by glaciers. You may notice waving stalks of corn, planted in perfect rows, reminding us of the important role played by family farms. You may also notice a 1959 Chevy Fleetside Pickup truck 30 feet in the air, jammed between two trees.

Mark Madson put the truck there in 1994 for his son to use as a treehouse. It remains there to this day.

How to put a Truck in the Tree

The truck can be seen very well from the Interstate but if you’d like a closer look, take exit 6, head north, take the first left onto E. Little Ln. You can’t miss it.
