When the hubby first told me the schedule for the Ohio Valley Regional Tournament in Eau Claire, games weren't going to start until like 4 on Thursday and he had meetings starting at 1. I started looking for something to do to fill my time. The hubby really isn't good at sitting around either. After looking through the bucket list, I came up with a couple museums. They both opened at noon and were located in Carson Park. THEN the schedule changed, less teams were coming but that meant more games. I told the hubby I where I wanted to go and he could come if he wanted. He opted to go with me but we went the next day when he had a break in games.
The first museum we checked out was the Wisconsin Logging Museum. Inside the museum you learned about life in a logging camp and the history of logging of Wisconsin.
Outside you are able to tour different buildings of a logging camp as it would have been in the 1800s. There was a blacksmith shop, bunk house, cook shanty.
And no trip to a logging museum is complete without Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox.
The Wisconsin Logging Museum was very informational. It was well done and you actually learned a lot about the logging industry.
Hours are Thursday-Sunday 12-4, June-September. Admission is reasonable at $8 and $4 for kids.
It is definitely worth the stop while in Eau Claire. You don't need more than an hour or so but definitely worth checking out.
