The Wisconsin Great River Road – An All American Road

Join host Eric Paulsen, as he uncovers the endless experiences by rail, river, and road–the Great River Road–from fascinating museums and sensational flavors to serene outlooks and interpretive centers. He begins his trek down the Great River Road here at Freedom Park, as we hope you do too!

SUMMER IS IN FULL SWING

Summer is here and we are so excited to have you join us. Our gardens are doing amazing with the deluge of rain that we have been experiencing this year. We have programming for you to check out that can be found on our events tab, and the views here at the Confluence of the St. Croix and Mississippi Rivers are at their best.

New Exhibits Are coming!

Come on in and see the progress we are making!

Our goal at the Great River Road Visitor Center is to create a center where people can gather to connect, experience the beauty of the confluence of our two mighty rivers, engage in diverse perspectives, and learn about our natural and cultural history.

We are happy to share that we are working hard on creating new learning experiences for all ages. If you would like to donate towards the creation of new exhibits, please click the GIVE button below.

We need your generous giving to make this possible!
