A bookstore beneath your feet

The Blessed Fig Tree opened in downtown Antigo in May 2023, in the former Buckalows Eatery at 800 Fifth Avenue. It carries about 4,000 new and used books: history, philosophy, fantasy, Wisconsin and outdoors titles, and a manga section the shop counts among the best in northern Wisconsin.

The owner runs the shop and is usually downstairs during business hours. Ask for a recommendation, grab an unusual snack, or pick out something to read upstairs.

A working Northwoods town

Langlade County calls itself the County of Trails, and Antigo is an Ice Age Trail Community. You can spend a day on foot without moving the car.
