Things To Do in Platteville, WI

Platteville may be small, but that doesn’t mean there’s a lack of fun things to do! For a little history, check out the Mining & Rollo Jamison Museums. They aim to teach visitors about Platteville’s regional history and its longstanding mining tradition, and they’re located nearby at the eastern end of Platteville’s historic district. Spend your time there by touring the 1845 Bevans Lead Mine, riding in a 1931 mine train, and learning about the local history of Platteville!

Southeastern Wisconsin might not be known as wine country but the Bauer-Kearns Winery makes Platteville a true powerhouse when it comes to fine wines. All of the Bauer Kearns Label Wines are Estate Wines. All grapes in these wines are grown on their estate in Platteville, so stop by for free tours and tastings during all business hours. Just don’t get too judicious with your tasting… you’re supposed to spit it out, remember? (Don’t worry. We won’t tell your professors.)

Just a short drive from the university lies the Dickeyville Grotto. The Dickeyville Grotto and Shines were erected on Holy Ghost Parish Grounds and are the work of Father Mathias Wernerus, a Catholic Priest, Pastor of the Parish from 1918 to 1931. His handiwork in stone, built from 1925-1930, is dedicated to the unity of two great American ideals-love of God and the love of Country. These religious and patriotic shrines were constructed without the use of blueprints. You should absolutely check them out to get a richer historical understanding of how Platteville came to be the town it is today.
