The cemetery is still actively in use and the famous founder of Saint Nazians, Father Oschwald's crypt is located here. There are several abandoned historical buildings, including a church.

The old historic St. Ambrose Church, which is abandoned and closed now, sits on the property as well.

Being suckers for these types of places, which there are many in Wisconsin, we decided to stop on our road-trip up north. Yes there is a real business here that sells hardware, trailers, doors and windows - which we did browse but the main attraction is the outside space that is filled with endless statues, sculptures, kitschy displays, old advertisements, giant animals, scrap art, etc. You have to see it to believe it. If you like this type of Americana do drive out of your way to experience this attraction. Also do take a spin through the hardware store - this is no Home Depot!

I bought a 32 ft patio roll in dock system from them. The young guy helping me didn't know a ton…read moreabout the dock system (and neither did I), but he was really nice to deal with. I only gave 4 stars because there were a couple of questions he could not answer at the time that I thought may have been helpful to know. There is another older gentlemen on site that knew everything about the dock systems (went back for another 8 ft section the next day), and he was super helpful. Any way, the dock system was the best priced around by at least $2,000 and it is high quality and very easy to put together. I would go buy another dock system here if I needed one. Great value for the money for sure!!!

Each item is handcrafted and the purchases go towards helping women all over the world. It was so exciting to see a place like this in my hometown. The shop is run primarily by volunteers who are dedicated to empowering women. I was greeted warmly by a lovely woman offering chocolates & sharing the mission of the shop and all of the handcrafted items. There were so many beautiful items and gifts made from various countries and each item had a story to tell of a woman turning her challenges into her empowering experience. I highly recommend shopping here vs. the big box stores. Every dollar spent here goes towards lifting women up! I'll definitely be back to do some Christmas shopping

I had brought this up on my GPS, but since they changed the exit in this area, it's a bit twisty to get to. However not horrible with a GPS! There is a fair amount of parking spaces and when you first walk in, you are greeted right away with all of the pretty Christmas decor! The staff here was very friendly! There are plenty of items to see and they have the trees decorated with different themes! It was super cute! I did buy one ornament and I would say it was slightly over priced. However, they do have such a nice selection of items and it's so well put together, I didn't mind. It was truly an experience!

Today I had some extra time after a meeting here, so I decided it was time to visit this store. First, I was disappointed to learn that they don't sell kringles here, so the business name is mis-leading, especially when Christmas is spelled as Kristmas. Ok, now that I got that off my chest, let me tell you hiw cool this store is! There are two levels of everything you will need to decorate your house for Christmas, as well as a lot of great gift ideas. They have Christmas trees, figurines, items to build your own Christmas village, Advent calendars, ornaments, customized ornaments, and anything else you can think of. I can't describe this store and do it justice, so look at my photos for a better look. It's open year-round, 7 days a week, 10am to 5pm, so come see it for yourself!

I ordered some very special earrings from her for an awards ceremony a few years ago and they made me feel like the belle of the ball.
