This is far and away Bailey's favorite place in La Crosse... possibly the entire driftless region. The Root Note is a coffeeshop, music venue, and bar all rolled into one.
This is a really big deal, in Winona, as well as the entire region! Many of the shows during the time you'll be in town are preview shows, or pay-what-you-Will, so you get to name the price! The fest includes tons of outdoor concerts on the green at Winona State University and is a really glorious event to experience!
Tube, kayak, and canoe rentals available for the river. Bike rentals available for the trail. Lanesboro is a kitschy, touristy little town that's worth checking out.
Bailey's favorite spot for coffee & local, organic food in Winona.
This bar/neighborhood restaurant is a few blocks from the school Bailey works in...which is very, very convenient somedays! Children welcome.
This gorgeous art museum is right along the Mississippi. Its artwork is world-class and its exhibits are amazing.
This giant antique store is housed in an old brewery, so part of the structure is actually built into a cave. I've yet to see it with my own eyes, but you and Bailey's mom should probably go check it out :)
