Begin your day at Prescott, the oldest community in Pierce County. During the 1800's, the community was a steamboat center and many of the original buildings of that era are still in use, often as restaurants and shops. The Welcome and Heritage Center, at the intersection of US Hwy 10 and WI Hwy 35 and housing the Prescott Chamber of Commerce is situated at the confluence of the St. Croix and Mississippi rivers. Originally the H.S. Miller Banking House, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Welcome and Heritage Center offers maps of the area and a Civil War display. Prescott is home to a host of dining establishments, some of which offer an up-close view of the St. Croix and Mississippi rivers. Picnic areas along the river provide relaxing places to enjoy the sights of this wonderful community. Look for Mercord Mill Park, the site of an 1852 sawmill.
