Every year when Stacy and I do cookie baking we try to have an adventure. There were several options and we decided to fly by the seats of our pants. One of the options was the Sheboygan County Historical Museum. I have never been and they had a H.C. Prange Company Christmas Decoration Display. I remember Prange's and wanted to see their decorations.
The museum is broke into three buildings -- the museum, the cabin, and the Taylor house. Admission is $9/adult. Masks are currently required. They open every day at noon.
We started in the main museum. The Christmas Decorations were impressive.
The rest of the museum gave you a history of the area from the stone age to the industrial age. I personally liked the Flintstone exhibit.
There was a nice display about all the fires and disasters in Sheboygan. The fires spanned 120 or so years.
Santa had his own little workshop as well. He was a bit lonely when we walked by.
After checking out the museum we checked out the cabin. There were old time wooden games in the small cabin. I tried to catch the ball in the cup and Stacy played with the Jacob's Ladder.
Our last stop was the Taylor House. The house is gorgeous. It was a self guided tour. The only part of the house that was open to the public was the kitchen. It was beautifully decorated.
Also in the Taylor house was a penguin scavenger hunt. Thirteen penguins were hidden throughout the house. Each penguin had a letter attached and you had to figure out the phrase. There were small prizes if you wanted to take one. We figured out the message. The "F" threw me for a loop though. Luckily it didn't stump Stacy.
Overall it was a good choice of an adventure. It was fairly quiet and on the way back to Appleton. It is definitely worth checking out any time of the year but the Christmas displays make it even better. I'm sure I will check it out again in the future.. and maybe even get a personal tour.
