Just a nice quiet area in the country. I was impressed by the work put into making the Grotto and keeping the area up for visitors.

It was a grassy day in April when we walked up the path to the Prairie Bells & Grotto of the Holy Family, but that did not dim our appreciation of the site. German-Russian Country is a holy landscape studded with statements of faith--this one by the venerable Vetter family. We didn't know what to expect when we pushed the button, but we did, and were greeted by an audio history of the site. The Prairie Bells are a work of remembrance, but they also are interactive--you can pull the rope and set them pealing across the prairies. Altogether a charming place.

My children ages 3, 6, 9, 13 & 14 and myself all enjoyed this little jewel in the middle of nowhere. I was pleasantly surprised. The family that took the time to make this grotto did a fabulous job. The children all enjoyed pulling on all the different ropes to make all the different sized bells ring. It makes you stop and remember that no matter where you go you always have someone who cares watching over you.
