5.0Cathedral of St. Helena(612 reviews) - Wow - great church Saturday: 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM Architectural Buildings • Religious Sites
We had visited thenStatenCapitol so walked to see the Cathedral. And it was definitely worth it. The cathedral is large (certainly by US standards) and picturesque outside, but it’s the inside that’s really impressive. Sadly so many churches remain locked when not in use these days, but this one was open. The altar is stunning as is the vaulted roof but the most breathtaking part is the stained glass. Well worth a visit.See more..
4.5Original Governor's Mansion(68 reviews) - Great for anyone interested in history! Historic Sites • Architectural Buildings
Our tour guide was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and we appreciated both his calm presence and obvious enthusiasm for history. He gave my 5yo a map of the house on a clipboard and invited her to find all the paper dolls hidden around the house, which kept her engaged throughout the tour. We learned a lot and enjoyed our visit enormously.See more..

4.5Milwaukee Station(16 reviews) - Absolutely beautiful outdoor area right next to the river Architectural Buildings

5.0Rosebud County Courthouse(4 reviews) - Beautiful old courthouse Spent < 1 hour Architectural Buildings • Government Buildings
We love old county courthouses and saw this as a point of interest on our road atlas. The courthouse was built in 1914 and is just a really beauty. The sign outside gives some history about how this courthouse was fraught with controversy when it was first built, having cost considerable more than was budgeted. We went during the day and were able to walk around inside the court (except the court room because they were in session). There are great murals at the top and the men's restroom in the basement should be seen as the toilet has a water closet about the toilet (old style). A great short little visit!See more..
