Prairie du Chien

 

The confluence of the Wisconsin River and the Mississippi is the location of one of Wisconsin's prettiest river towns, Prairie du Chien. First Indians, then French explorers, followed by early fur traders found this plateau along the river to be a natural gathering place. The town's varied history is captured in a number of intriguing historic sites in Prairie du Chien as well as in the surrounding area. Perhaps most notable is the gracious Victorian country estate Villa Louis.

Near the quaint river hamlet of Bagley, just to the south, is Wyalusing State Park. The park, standing atop tall bluffs, offers spectacular views of the mingling of the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers.

Prairie du Chien includes:
