Neillsville is a small town of about 3000 in rural central Wisconsin. It lies on the Black River in farm country, at the southern edge of the Northern Highlands, overlooking the flat bottom-lands that once were Glacial Lake Wisconsin. If you like quaint and quiet, it can be a nice place to spend a weekend.

Did you ever want to sleep in a museum? Here you can. James will give you a tour of the sprawling home which was built in 1879, showing you the parlor, the woodwork, the maid's bedroom, and so forth. Then he might take down the velvet rope on one of the bedrooms and let you spend the night! The place is an odd combination of hotel, casual museum, and music venue. And you may enjoy the pecan praline French toast for breakfast.
Buy local produce in season and Amish baking. And admire the horses and buggies parked nearby.
Neillsville is on highway 10, three hours east of Minneapolis and four hours northwest of Milwaukee.
