Sister-city Bantry, Ireland is located on the southwestern corner of Ireland, looking out on an important deep-water port to the Atlantic Ocean. This amphitheater looks west to the Mississippi River (on your left), the Black River (center), and the La Crosse River (right). The mill wheel is a replica of a larger wheel in Bantry.
