The Dickeyville Grotto is this amazing shrine built by Father Mathtias, just sitting in the middle of a small town called, Dickeyville, Wi. It is just right in the middle of town and the locals all go about about their business like this amazing building is not standing there. It's a must see, only a couple dollars to get in, even a little resale shop in the basement. But for paranormal hunters or anyone looking for something out of the norm to visit, this spectaular display of a building and shring built of rocks, stone, glass, shells and broken china, it's a must see!
PS In the back of this shrine is a cemetary. Father Matthias is buried in there.
