Pretty old and some interesting levels. But mostly a show of industry and Indian heritage. Great view of the state capitol building from the top floor.

The kids had a great time while learning all about our great state of Wisconsin! The underwater shipwreck exhibit was not what they expected, and didn't hold their attention very long, so I'm very glad the rest of the museum was worthwhile!

They've done great work with what they have. Many exhibits haven't been changed in years, but they're informative and the volunteers and staff are always helpful. The gift shop is great for wisconsinites of many interests.

The museum is very informative. As a dairy farmer I really enjoyed the job with the history of farming on the 3rd floor however I was not impressed with the "farmer" clothes in the bin in front of the tractor. Farmers in the past and currently wear many hats like agronomist, dr, nurse, accountant, hr and the list goes on. We run our farms with guidance and precision planting off sattelites and have computers to assist us with every day tasks with employees and cattle. I felt we were portrayed as hillbillies with the clothes in the bin that the mother was having her children put on calling them "farmer" clothes. There are less people now than ever that have not been on a farm and know where their food comes from and small things like this arent helping the matter. Thank you.
