Chippewa Valley Museum Exhibits

Since the 1650s, life in the region has undergone waves of immigration, innovation, and change.

The story of a Chippewa Valley farm is one of profound change for families and rural communities.

Food, income, and recreation are all reasons behind the harvest of wild plants and animals in the Chippewa Valley today, and harvesting activities have marked the time of year for generations.

Take a journey to discover what different families eat, live in, and wear.

The more you look, the more there is to see. At 8 feet long, and 4 feet high, this 21 room doll house contains almost 500 furnishings.

Every artifact leads its own life, intersecting with the many people who built, bought, sold, or salvaged it.

From changing views on diet and exercise to global epidemics, people of the Chippewa Valley have engaged healers, sought cures, and wondered about what it means to “be healthy.”
