On our way to Minneapolis , pit stop to this museum was good. Lovely staff. Great historical display. You will learn alot about the settlers and natives. Short walk through but worth it.

My daughter and niece had a blast most of the pictures are of my sister-in-law and twin but we had a blast. And not only that but the gift shop and ice cream were all fairly priced.

Nice museum highlighting the history of the Chippewa Valley. Permanent exhibits include logging, farming and native peoples. Special exhibits are also rotated through periodically. Admission is reasonable. Takes a couple hours to see it. Longer if you also check out the Logging Camp.

Its a smaller museum but very accesible as it is on one floor. The exhibits are well labled/ organized. Ive gone in school settings and on my own, there is really such a good amount of information that more than one trip is needed to take it all in. Theyve done well to cover many subjects in Eau Claire history. There is even specific areas of interest for younger people and an ice cream parlor and Object Theater.

One exhibit I didnt expect to see is a collection of prizes from Cracker Jack boxes. Apart from collectors, almost nobody has any of them.
