I also remember going up to Prairie du Chien...it was a trip I took with the Geography Club, when I was in high school...we took a train out of Union Station in Chicago, and then got up to Prairie du Chien...we then took a tour of that huge, beautiful mansion there, the Villa Louis..I always loved that house, and thought, as a teen-ager, thats the kind of house I want when I grow up...
Then later I convinced my parents to drive up there, and see that house for themselves, as they were always interested in seeing new things...they were glad I pointed them that way, as they enjoyed the Villa Louis as well...
