Was once a thriving Motel...until the floods

This is on the outskirts of Spring Green.  A couple of years ago this area flooded and many of the houses and businesses were ruined.  This place never recovered and sits there unused.  Sad.

This business has changed hands many times.

It is on Hwy 14 and started as an antique shop, then a buy and sell thrift store, and now it seems to be a place to buy and rent canoes and kayaks.

The fur trading office of Hercules Dousman

This building on the grounds of Villa Louis was the office of Hercules Dousman and there is a billiard room in this building!

Villa Louis Visitor Center

Villa Louis Visitor Center is built on stilts because the Mississippi River has flooded this area many times.  My only concern was "how do the handicapped get up there"  I guess getting older makes me think of these things. There is handicapped parking, but no elevator or ramp.  Hmm.

Is this a joke or has anyone else heard of it?

 
I was told by my traveling partner that if you spit into the Mississippi River you will have good luck!  So we did! I hope it works!

Mississippi River looking toward Marquette Iowa

The bridge on the far left is how you cross into Marquette Iowa from Prairie du Chein, WI.
