Waupun Ice Fest February 17th & 18th

The Heritage Museum hosts two permanent exhibitions, as well as one rotating exhibition in the main-floor galleries. Exhibits on local people, events, industries, and military service are hosted in the lower galleries. The museum is housed in a 1904 Carnegie Library and is Waupun's best-kept secret, which remains practically untouched by time. Enjoy a visit with featured photo opportunities set back in time.
