Chudnow Museum of Yesteryear, Historical artifacts museum in downtown Milwaukee, United States
The Chudnow Museum of Yesteryear contained collections of everyday objects from the late 1800s through 1970 displayed in recreated period settings.
The museum originated from Abe Chudnow's collection, which he started while working through Marquette University Law School and serving in the 519th Port Battalion.
Each room in the museum recreated different Milwaukee businesses from the 1920s and 1930s, including a grocery store, pharmacy, and speakeasy.
The museum closed in December 2020, with its collection transferred to the Cedarburg History Museum for continued preservation and public display.
The building, constructed in 1869, functioned as both a medical clinic and residence for Dr. Joseph J. Eisenberg before becoming a museum.
