Dickeyville Grotto Folk Art Environment


Father Wernerus built his gigantic ramshackle bedazzler to show other Americans that Catholic Americans loved the President as much as the Pope.  His Grotto full of patriotic baubles was a tribute to both.  Welcome to the Dickeyville Grotto.  Constructed 1929 image from a Real Photo postcard mailed 1945.
Collection Jim Linderman
