I visited Neillsville on Monday April 17, 2017. It was a beautiful day and Neillsville is a very nice small town: it’s the perfect size for walking. I parked near the courthouse, which was built in the 1960s, and walked around it and the old jail, which is now a museum. then I drove to the other side of O’Neills Creek to visit St Mary’s Catholic Church. Then I drove back to the downtown area for more photos. Actually if I had parked in the downtown area, I could have easily walked to all of the places I was interested in.
