Villa
Louis Lamplight Tour
Prairie du Chien
Held
at dusk, the tour will focus on the “back door” world of the Villa Louis
from the perspective of the servants who tended to the elegant lifestyle
of the Dousman family and prepared the household for their prominent
guests. The historic Villa Louis mansion
is the centerpiece of a grand Victorian estate built by the family of
Hercules Dousman, a frontier entrepreneur who amassed a fortune in the
fur trade and other frontier investments. The mansion has just undergone
a top-to-bottom documentary restoration that has returned the Dousman
home to the splendor of its 1890s heyday.

Driftless Area Art Festival
Beauford T. Anderson Park, Soldiers Grove
The
Driftless area, a unique region that escaped the glaciers of the ice
age, is an inspirational setting to many talented artists and artisans.
Its hills and valleys are home to painters and potters, woodworkers and
weavers, musicians and metalsmiths. To see the breadth and variety
of their creations, you usually have to visit studios, stores and
galleries across the area. But once a year in September, these
artists gather together in Crawford County, Wisconsin, at the Driftless
Area Art Festival.
