Sheboygan County Historical Museum, Local museum in Sheboygan, United States.
The Sheboygan County Historical Museum is a local museum complex in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, spread across multiple historic buildings. The collection spans thousands of objects documenting various aspects of regional life, from farming and trades to maritime activities and local industries.
The collection began in 1923 in a building that previously served as a jail and sheriff's office. Over time, historic houses and farm buildings from the 1800s were added to the site to show early settlement and local trades.
The museum tells stories of the people and crafts that shaped the region over generations. Visitors see personal items and tools that reveal how residents lived and worked in earlier times.
The grounds are walkable and information is posted at each building. Plan for several hours if you want to see all the structures and exhibits, especially on pleasant days when outdoor areas are fully accessible.
A preserved 19th-century cheese factory on the grounds shows how local cheese-making happened in those days. This fully intact building with its original equipment reveals how important the craft was to the region's economy.
