old Rhinelander depot. This is one of the larger and better-realized groupings of antiques
you'll experience.
If you have some time, check out Kovac Planetarium (715/487-4411, kovacplanetari-
um.com , $12) simply because you'll likely never experience a labor of love such as this
again. Years ago, the builder/owner was frustrated by clouds obscuring the night sky. So he
simply built one of the world's largest mechanical planetariums over ten long years. It's a
fascinating story and his enthusiasm is infectious. Everyone raves about the planetarium. It
offers shows daily, but reservations are required.
