    There are two houses related to the Historical Society, The Yawkey House and the Woodson History…read moreCenter. This time I strolled to the Woodson House. It is only about a block from the Everest. I had been to this grand house a couple of years ago. At that time they had a great exhibit on the effect of the Civil War on the area. I met an older gentleman named George. We talked smart for over two hours. He was great at answering questions about the county. On this visit I hoped to talk with him again; but, alas, he was not there on this visit. So I checked out their new exhibit on rural electrification of Marathon County. I found it quite informative and interesting. You can "interact" with people who used to live in the county by telephone; and listen to their stories. This is a nice place to spend a couple of hours. You can learn a lot about the area. There were a couple of floods that decimated the town. The one in 1913 was particularly devastating. As I am prone to staying at the Everest Inn, I'll probably visit this museum again the next time I'm in Wausau. Hope to catch George next time, I could use another history lesson of Marathon County. If you are a history buff (who isn't?) it would behoove you to check this fine little museum out. There is no entry fee; but leave a donation of a couple of bucks. It's the right thing to do.

    From the owner: Tour the historic Yawkey House Museum. Visit the Woodson History Center to tour our free rotating…read moreexhibits.

    On our way to Door County I knew I needed to stop at this museum given my ancestors emigrated from…read moreBelgium to northern Wisconsin in the late 1800's. We happened to show up on the weekend they were honoring the 150th anniversary of the Peshtigo Fire. We caught the last few minutes of a talk and then saw a new video they made about the fire. It was very good and very informative. If not for the movie the center itself was a bit underwhelming. I was hoping for more having been to the excellent Luxembourg-American museum in Belgium Wisconsin (go figure out that one). [You must be wondering do I only tour Wisconsin-based museums of small Northern European countries. No but my wife is of Luxembourg descent so that is why...] Anyway the people were friendly and the few displays were interesting I was just expecting a bit more content.

    From the owner: We are open by appointment only November through April. Open May 22 thru October, Friday -…read moreSaturday, 10am to 3pm or by appointment. We tell the story of the Belgian settlement in Wisconsin and work to preserve unique elements of Belgian culture such as foods, beverages, customs, architecture and the Walloon language. Located in the former St. Mary of the Snows church which was a cornerstone of the historic Belgian settlement. The building is located in the Namur Historic District that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and has been designated a National Landmark by the US Department of Interior. Also tour the former convent and parochial school (c.1894) adjacent to the heritage center.
