I witnessed the dedication and commitment founding members displayed over the years that brought us to where the museum is today – they moved locations, lost everything in a flood and had to start over, had changes in leadership, recently they had to deal with covid, but every step of the way the museum has come out bigger and better.

What the museum does best is make discovery and learning fun, while staying true to our culture and heritage. Every exhibit is created with input from community experts. That they are hand crafted and authentic is so impressive.  The Farm to Table exhibit with the vegetables, deli counter, “real” money, or the North Woods Cabin with the fishing pond and the snowman, the Stone Quarry with real cranes, hard hats and diggers.  Outside we have the gardens, animals, water, mud! Every new exhibit is more awe-inspiring than the last! There is always something new to discover and learn!
