Come experience the rich story of exploration and settlement in the Lake Winnebago Region. Interactive exhibits bring the region’s history to life. Rummage through Grandma’s Attic and discover hidden stories packed away in drawers and trunks or see if you have what it takes to defend the Union Army with Survivor: Civil War Soldier. Take time to watch the Apostle’s Clock, one of Wisconsin’s top ten attractions, strike the hour. Stroll through the Edwardian-era 1908 Sawyer mansion and marvel at the rich interiors designed by the famous Tiffany Studios of New York.
