Prairie du Chien Attractions

 
Prairie du Chien, in the far south-west of Wisconsin at the confluence of the Wisconsin and Mississippi Rivers, was founded in 1673 by the Frenchman Marquette and Joliet and was for a long time an important fur trading post. Today it is a river station for the big Mississippi paddle steamers, with the added attraction of the Kickapoo Indian Caverns and the Villa Louis Mansion, former home of a wealthy fur trader.
