LA CROSSE AREA HERITAGE CENTER

At the La Crosse Area Heritage Center, explore the history of La Crosse County through stories, images, and artifacts depicting life in the area. See a variety of displays showcasing Ho-Chunk history, steamboats, logging, beer making, and early manufacturing anchored by a mid-twentieth century fishing boat.

RIVERSIDE INTERNATIONAL FRIENDSHIP GARDEN

La Crosse enjoys thriving relationships with sister cities, business partners, students, and people from around the world. To celebrate the success of these partnerships and build a tribute to the culture and traditions, the township created a garden filled with flowers and decorations that closely resemble a garden that could be found in each one of La Crosse’s sister cities. In the Chinese Gardens, principles of Feng Shui are showcased as rock, soil, water, architecture, and plants are harmoniously and meticulously placed to create a free-flowing movement. In the French Garden, finely trimmed plants, granite statues, and elegant fountains are arranged in a formal and geometric pattern, recreating the sophistication and romance found in France.
