The Mississippi River Sculpture Park is one of the oldest permanently settled communities in the state and is open all year round free of charge. The sculpture park is located on St. Feriole Island on the Western shore of the Mississippi's eastern channel. There is no playground or jungle gyms in this city-owned park. The island park is decorated by life-sized bronze statues of Chief Black Hawk, Emma Big Bear, a Victorian woman, an adventurer, and Dr. William Beaumont with his son Israel. Each statue depicts a person with a history tied to Prairie Du Chien. Twenty-two additional sculptures are planned for the park.
