Prairie Motel Prairie Du Chien WI
Dousman House The Dousman Hotel, is a historic hotel located at the intersection of Fisher Street and River Road in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. The hotel was built in 1864–65 to serve railroad and steamboat travelers coming to the city. (St. Feriole Island) Fisher Street - The Railroad House was touted as the premier hotel on the Upper Mississippi when it was built by the railroad in 1864. Since Hercules Dousman owned so much of the railroad stock, the hotel was renamed after him in 1867. In the 1940s it was converted to a meat packing plant and later served as a warehouse. The property is undergoing redevelopment. National Historic Landmark and National Register of Historic Places.

Riverside Repair Shop ~ Brisbois Store - Fur Trade Museum
(St. Feriole
Island) Water Street - Built in 1851-52 by fur trader and merchant, B.W.
Brisbois, this stone building sits on land having a long association with the
North American fur trade. Prior to the War of 1812, the property was owned by a
number of prominent traders and companies. During the war, a log structure on
the property was used by U.S. soldiers for housing while nearby Fort Shelby was
under construction. After the war, the property became the site of a U.S. Fur
Factory. In the 1820s the land was sold to the American Fur Company who held it
until its sale to Brisbois in 1850. Through much of the twentieth century the
building was known as the Riverside Boat Repair. The Wisconsin Historical
Society acquired the building in the 1970s and established the Fur Trade Museum.
Operated in conjunction with the Villa Louis, the building is open May through
October as a National Historic Landmark and National Register of Historic
Places.
