Villa Louis mansion will open for trick-or-treaters

PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, Wisconsin (WXOW) -- Halloween is knocking on our door. Before you know it, trick-or-treaters will be going door to door. This year, they'll have a chance to tour a historical mansion in southwestern Wisconsin next month.

The Villa Louis mansion will offer trick-or-treating from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 27, 2012. Costumed interpreters will hand out treats and historical facts. The cost is $5 per family.

The mansion is located in Prairie du Chien. The mansion is the centerpiece of a grand Victorian estate built by fur trader Hercules Dousman's family. The building has just gone through an extensive restoration.
