On the banks of the mighty Mississippi, La Crosse, Wisconsin is gently nestled amidst bluffs and coulees, and located on the river. La Crosse is a river town, with all the history, charm and romance of the steamboat era. The La Crosse Area is a geological oddity, as it is believed to have escaped unscathed from the great glacier of the Ice Age that scraped adjacent areas flat. Breathtaking panoramas await as this “escape” left bluffs, coulees, and stream valleys virtually unchanged from the beginning of time. The City of La Crosse has a population of approximately 51,000. The La Crosse area is home to several major industries/employers including Trane Company, Ashley Furniture, Kwik Trip, Logistics Health Inc., and CenturyLink. In addition, La Crosse is home to two national leaders in health care, Gundersen Health System and Mayo Clinic Health System. The City of La Crosse also has a strong educational system including numerous high schools, middle schools and elementary schools in the city. La Crosse is also the home to two 4 year colleges (University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and Viterbo University) and a 2 year technical college (Western Technical College). For fun and e...ntertainment, La Crosse has numerous festivals including Oktoberfest, Riverfest, Irishfest, and Jazzfest just to name a few.
