Villa Louis

Prairie du Chien, WI

This Victorian estate stands on St. Feriole Island at a site tied to the Dousman family, the fur trade and the long cultural history of Prairie du Chien. Restored interiors and outbuildings preserve an unusually complete upper-class nineteenth-century estate on the Mississippi frontier.
