Great River Road
Stoddard, WI

Stoddard is one of the few byway towns that did not start out as a river town, but ended up as one. Stoddard was two miles west of the Mississippi until 1938 when a lock and dam was built at Genoa. The dam raised the river level which subsequently spread until it reached Stoddard.

Stoddard contains many brick buildings from the late nineteenth century. It displays the nations change from sparsely populated towns to a growing suburb of a larger city.
