On The Road: The Julia Belle Swain

Jason Davis is swinging open the “On the Road” vault to spotlight stunning fall destinations, and this gem takes us straight to the shimmering banks of the Mississippi River. The Julia Belle Swain, a beloved steam-powered sternwheeler, once glided up and down the river for decades and holds a special place in the hearts of La Crosse, Wisconsin locals. After more than 2.6 million dollars in renovations, the historic boat made its final journey down the Mississippi and is now headed for a new life as a wedding venue in Nashville, Tennessee.
