Villa Louis is a historic estate located in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. Built in 1870, the mansion was once the home of the Dousman family, who were prominent fur traders and entrepreneurs in the area. The estate encompasses over 45 acres of land, featuring gardens, walking trails, and the mansion itself.

The mansion is a prime example of Victorian architecture, with 22 rooms adorned with original furnishings and decor from the late 1800s. Visitors can take guided tours of the mansion to learn about the Dousman family's life and legacy.

In addition to the mansion, the estate also features several outbuildings, including a carriage house, ice house, and smokehouse. These structures have been restored and repurposed to showcase various aspects of life in the late 1800s, such as cooking, laundry, and transportation.

Villa Louis hosts various events throughout the year, including a reenactment of the Battle of Prairie du Chien, a historic baseball game, and a holiday celebration. The estate is open to the public from May through October, and offers visitors a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of a wealthy family in the late 1800s.
