Beautiful house and tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided a great history of the house and the surrounding area. This mansion is unique in that 90% of the furnishings are original to the house, and that is very, very unusual. This mansion and related tour are highly recommended.

6. Fort Crawford Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 35 reviews
Being the second oldest community in the state of Wisconsin and the oldest on the upper Mississippi River we have alot of history in our community. We have two historical museums. The Fort Crawford Hospital Museum gives information about Dr. Wm Beaumont, a post surgeon here at the Fort, the different treaties signed here, Blackhawk's surrender, surgical diaramas, a display of an old dentist office, display of an old pharmacy, etc. Our Museum of Prairie du Chien has displays and information of the War of 1812, Clamming and the button factories that were here, an iron lung, etc. We do have scavenger hunts for the younger visitors for both museums, to help keep them interested and busy.

The hospital was our favorite part. Lots of civil war history and they had a lot of great items. The also had amazing diaramas. The lady running the gift shop was informative and very friendly.
