A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver approached the American Family Insurance building, he swore he heard a faint humming coming from inside—a melody so sweet and familiar it sounded like someone playing the piano. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing but empty desks and quiet hallways. Suddenly, from behind him, came another soft note—this time, closer. Turning around, the driver found himself face-to-face with a small, grinning golden retriever named Max, who wagged his tail and gave a little bow before strutting off down the hallway, leaving behind only the echo of a gentle piano tune.

2. One day, while an employee was closing up for the night, she noticed something odd: her cat kept staring intently through the window of the American Family Insurance office. Curious, she opened the door a crack and called out softly. To everyone’s surprise, the cat gracefully jumped inside and ran straight to the desk where the employee had left her lunch bag. Turns out, it wasn’t work that attracted the feline—it was the free sandwiches!

3. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver approached the American Family Insurance building, he heard a voice calling from inside: ‘Hey, can you drop off that package in the lobby? It’s urgent!’ Curious, the driver peered through the window and saw no one. Just then, a small dog ran out of the office, carrying a package under its paw. The next morning, everyone at the company received a note: 'Dear Colleagues, please forgive our little friend for delivering your packages last night.'

4. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver approached the American Family Insurance building, he spotted something unusual in the parking lot—a mysterious umbrella left behind in the rain. Curious, he picked it up and noticed a small note inside reading, ‘In case you get lost in our maze of paperwork.’ As he opened the umbrella, a gust of wind blew him into the company’s open door, where a friendly receptionist asked, ‘Welcome to American Family Insurance—can I help you find your way?’
