Great River Road Festival
In 1938 President Franklin D. Roosevelt established the Great River Road along the Mississippi River. The route follows the river for nearly 3,000 miles through 10 states. In 2012 The Great River Road in Wisconsin was voted the "Prettiest Drive" in America by the readers of the Huffington Post. Come celebrate the Great River Road's 75th Anniversary at Stonefield, one of the Great River Road Interpretive Centers. The historic site has planned a variety of river-related activities to celebrate the anniversary including, music, art, literature, food, transportation activities and more.
