The Willard Bunnell House is a historic house museum in Homer, Minnesota, United States. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 for having state-level significance in the themes of architecture, commerce, and exploration/settlement. It was nominated for being Minnesota's first permanent house south of Saint Paul, as well as for its Gothic Revival architecture and association with brothers Willard (1814–1861) and Lafayette Bunnell (1824–1903), who helped develop the area during its frontier days. It is now managed by the Winona County Historical Society.

Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge is a 6,808-acre (27.55 km2) National Wildlife Refuge located along the Upper Mississippi River in extreme southern Buffalo County and extreme southwestern Trempealeau County in Wisconsin, United States. There are two small private areas in the protected area. It is in part a wetland consisting of backwaters away from the Mississippi and Trempealeau River, and is a significant element of the Mississippi Flyway. It is part of the Driftless Area, a portion of North America which remained free of ice during the last ice age, creating in part the deep gorge of the Mississippi, quite visible from this refuge. It is also a sand prairie, including grasses such as big bluestem, indiangrass, and switchgrass capable of growing to eight to nine feet (2.4 to 2.7 m) in height.There is also bottomland forest in the reserve with river birch, swamp white oak and silver maple. The area is only separated from the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge by a railroad line. The Perrot State Park borders on the south. The Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge was recently extended by about 800 acre along the Trempealeau River. The North American river otter live in the area. Ten pairs of the sandhill crane breed in the National Wildlife Refuge.
