Food for you

Get in
Freedom is easily accessed by car from hwy 41.
Get around
Easiest way to get around Freedom is by car. If you don't have a car and are just staying in town, most things (school, gas stations, bars, churches, etc.) are within walking distance.
Hitchhiking is very uncommon and will probably be met with stares as people pass you on the road.
See
Lots of farm fields. If you are into high school sports, the local high school has a team for most common sports. There is a Catholic church in town.
Do
Go to the local taverns, which is very popular with locals. If visiting during the winter, snowmobiling is very popular, and there are plenty of well-conditioned trails in the area. Hunting is very popular with locals, although most travel north to partake. A 10-minute drive out of town during the right time of year will land you in the middle of the Mackville tractor pulls, which is truly a sight.
Buy
Most locals drive into nearby Appleton to shop for clothes and things of the like because there is really no stores in town that sell them. There is a local grocery store (Freedom Foods) with reasonable prices. The high school has a small spirit shop, but it is not open during school hours. There is also power equipment shop, Freedom All Season Repair & Rental. It's on the north end of town on State Hwy. 55.
Eat
Only fast-food in town is Subway, located right across the street from the high school. There are one or two small restaurants in town. Mama D's Cafe is one of them and is right next to Subway. Most taverns have menu that you can order from with relatively good prices and good food.
Drink
Beer is the most popular alcoholic drink in town and can be bought at any gas station, the grocery store, and of course the bars.
Sleep
There are no hotels in town, but Appleton is just 10 minutes down the road and Green Bay is less than 30. Sneak into someone's barn if you are desperate, but be aware that if you're caught, trespassing is not met lightly (this is a joke, do not sneak into barns).
Go next
The same way you got in, any road from the center of town will take you to another one of Wisconsin's wonderful small towns.
