The Chippewa Valley Museum connects people to the community and inspires curiosity by collecting, preserving, and sharing the region’s historical and cultural resources. Located beneath towering pines in Eau Claire's beautiful Carson Park, this nationally recognized museum covers 300 years of history, starting in the 18th century when Ojibwe Indians met French traders and up to the present. The Farm Life exhibit explores the region’s rich farming traditions and History Quest lets children become history detectives. No one should miss the 1950’s ice cream parlor or the 23-room dollhouse. The grounds (and the admission price) include the one-room Sunnyview Schoolhouse and the 1867 Anderson Log House, a rare Norwegian style log house constructed in the 1860s (both open from Memorial to Labor Day).
