Prairie du Chien Restored Dousman Home Heralds Frontier Past
The city of Prairie du Chien and Dousman heirs restored Hercules L. Dousman’s historic “house on the mound” at the confluence of the Mississippi and Wisconsin rivers. The 1843 mansion includes the region’s first piano and bath tub and reflects pioneer life beside Indigenous, fur traders, and explorers. The 1935 deed to the city enables continued preservation.
