The Cassville Car Ferry connects two National Scenic Byways; the Great River Road and the Iowa Great River Road. The ferry served the early settlement as far back as 1836 and it continues today, making the same trip back and forth across the mighty Mississippi. It is the oldest operating car ferry in the state of Wisconsin.

Directions to the Car Ferry from Iowa: Take Hwy 52 to Millville. Turn unto C9Y. Watch for the electrical substation and directional signs. The gravel road leads to the Turkey River boat landing, where the ferry picks up passengers.

Directions to the Car Ferry from Cassville: Take State Hwy 133 south to Crawford St., turn west towards the river. Turn right at the Riverside Park boat landing; follow the road to the upper park to the ferry landing.

Take a ride on the Cassville Car Ferry and visualize a twenty-three year old Nelson Dewey, who was to become the first governor of Wisconsin, making his first trip across the Mississippi to reach the tiny village of Cassville. Today, it is still a fun way to cross.
