text: A great museum in a town that seems full of them nnI went to the Wisconsin Historical Society as well but it is more a research library than a museum Strangely there does not seem to be any connection between the two places This one is comparable to the museum section of the Ohio Historical Center the WHS seems like the archives and library portion of that institutionnnWhen I went there was a special exhibit about toys which was amusing but definitely more for kids There was also a small display of contemporary quilts The main floors hold the usual history and prehistory exhibits well done with informative text and interesting artifacts nnTheres a gift shop with a very good selection of books local and general as well as Tshirts and knickknacks
