Welcome to the Rural Arts Museum

The Rural Arts Museum is a collection of buildings that hold the stories, artifacts and memories of central Wisconsin.  There are several buildings including a depot, one-room schoolhouse, log cabin and the main exhibit building.  This is a family friendly museum.  While children are asked to respect the exhibits, they are invited to explore.  




Current info on hours and visiting the museum can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/RuralArtsMuseum.

The Museum is open the 3rd and 4th Sundays of each month or by appointment.  



The main museum building hosts a series of rooms that depict "Main Street" life in a rural town.  There are vignettes of dentist and doctor offices, a bank, a millinery, and many others.  


 The main building also houses a collection of carriages, machinery and tools for trades like cheese-making, ice-cutting and logging.
