Submitted by admin on Wed, 07/30/2025 - 11:35

Residents and visitors are invited to explore an interactive exhibit that evaluates Marquette and McGregor and their relationship to the landscape of the Driftless Area. “Mending/Bridging” is on display in Suite 105B of the Masonic Block building at 136 Main St., in McGregor. (Photos by Audrey Posten)

The “Mending/Bridging” exhibit features interactive maps, models and imagery. One large scale model depicts individual Marquette and McGregor buildings—all 3-D printed—nestled within and along the contours of the bluffs and bodies of water. Sites or projects currently in development, or in the process of changing, are flagged.

A PhotoVoice project asks residents and visitors to take a brief online survey and upload photos with titles that capture the qualities, experiences and locations they value in the Ports of Discovery communities. Some submitted images are already included in a gallery within the exhibit.
