We toured the Villa Louis Estate in Prairie du Chien, WI. The family was the first millionaires in Wisconsin. The grounds are beautiful and the inside of the house has been restored to it's original state. The drive there is one of my favorite drives that we've taken. It's right along the Mississippi River so everything is green and lush and there are wildflowers everywhere.
This little shack thing was built for the couples to sit in when they were courting so they could be seen from the house and kept an eye on by their parents. Good idea eh?
This is just a picture of the old office/guest house/billliard room. They had a picture from the 1800's of the family playing billiards (which is different then the game of pool which I didn't know...no pockets on the table) and the room looked exactly the same, even the pictures on the wall. Amazing!
