The nun who took us on a tour was very gracious. Not only did I receive a tour of the church, but was also shown a video. Then she also took us to see the archives which was phenomenal, and displayed the history of the church dating back many years. She talked about how there have been 2 people praying around the clock since the church opened, and how prayer requests can be submitted. Although this is not my denomination, I was impressed with the humility displayed and how much care the sisters here take to fulfill their mission. The stained glass is exceptional. This tour is best with no more than a small group.

We had a group of 30 motorcyclists venture up the winding road to the top of the bluff on a perfect weather day to view the expanse of LaCrosse and the Mississippi River. It was well worth the ride.

We enjoyed all the information told to us about the family and the house! We wanted more...like a book about the family, etc but there hasn't been one written, I guess?
10. Dahl Auto Museum

Reviewed By josieo260
I thought this museum was one of the best auto museums I've ever seen, if not the best. It is very professionally done and well-thought out. The displays were clean and meticulously done. The cars included memorialbia from the era. They had hood ornaments/radiator caps, globes from gas pumps, 4 gas pumps, a drive-in theatre set, a WWII Willy's jeep, an old era Indian motorcycle, a phonograph and jukebox. Frank and Mike, the American Pickers would love this place!!!!
