Great River Road
Grant River Public Use Area, WI

The Grant River Public Use Area in Potosi, administered by the U.S. Corps of Engineers, provides a wide variety of outdoor recreation opportunities including camping.

Situated on a knoll near the Grant River Public Use Area, the Osceola Site is one of only three Middle Archaic "Old Copper" cemeteries that have been scientifically excavated in Wisconsin. Cemeteries and burial grounds provide a glimpse into the lives of the people interred there. Stone tools were found in the burial sites as well as tools from natural copper that could have been collected from river beds. Studies of the remains indicate that the life expectancy of these people was their late 30's.
