OPTIONAL FRIDAY MORNING ACTIVITIES

9:00am – 10:00 am: You are invited to tour Mary of the Angels Chapel, a La Crosse historic landmark, located at the St. Rose Convent motherhouse for the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration (FSPA). FSPA is a religious order of women founded in 1863. The sisters started hospitals, educated teachers, and remain active in prayer, adoration and goodness for the world. The chapel is noted as one of the most authentic German Teutonic Romanesque buildings of the world with Corinthian pillars and Bavarian stained-glass windows. Altars are constructed of Italian marble inlaid with Venetian glass and mother of pearl mosaics. Free will donations are appreciated. Tour is expected to last about 60 minutes and there is an opportunity for questions following the tour.

11:00am – 12:00pm: Decoding the Driftless, a documentary film, to be shown at Stoney Creek Hotel. Join scientists and seasoned local guides on an adventure through the air, across rugged landscapes, on and under the water, through a secret underworld, and across time itself as they explore and decipher ancient clues of the archaeology, paleontology, geology, and biology of the Driftless Region. With its captivating scenic beauty, this exceptionally rare, scenic, and fascinating landscape known as the Driftless Area is the only “island driftless region” in the world.
