Visitors Center
+ CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Mid-2017 the Tomah Chamber & Visitors
Center found a new home in a recently
renovated 1930s DNR Ranger Station
located at 310 N. Superior Ave. The
location of the Tomah Chamber & Visitors
Center had been semi-permanent since
2007. In 2012, the City Council voted
to collect a 2% hotel room tax that would
go towards building a new facility for the
Chamber & Visitors Center.
There were limited areas to build, so the
search began for existing buildings. In the
midst of the search, the DNR announced
to the City of Tomah that they would
be vacating the Ranger Station. It was
recognized that there would be some
significant challenges; however, the
location was ideal for the needs of the
Tomah Chamber & Visitors Center and the
historical nature of the building provided
significant value to our purpose.
The building needed to tell people that
this is a Chamber of Commerce: serving,
Original DNR Ranger Station 1930s
supporting, and advocating for the business
community; as well as a Convention & Visitors
Bureau: working to increase tourism and
promote Tomah as a destination.
The building was also designed to highlight
Tomah’s history and the original intention
of the building, a DNR Ranger Station.
Hopefully during your time in Tomah you
have a chance to explore the building and
all of the history and information that it
holds. It is open Monday-Friday 8am-5pm.
