Iron County Historical Museum 303 Iron Street, Hurley, WI 54534

"Grew up going up to the area my entire life it was fun to visit and learn so much! My girls even got a lesson in rug making they throughly enjoyed! Looking forward to going back again!"

"Plan to spend a day or at least half day. Plenty of things to see from the past. Lovely museum that doesn't charge a penny but donations is even worth."

"Historic 2-story building with full basement - all broken up into many rooms (probably about 15 all told) with loads and loads of exhibits on local history. The staff was friendly and informative. The exhibits were very well organized with each room having a separate theme. One notable thing was the volunteers working at looms to make carpets and place mats. We bought one; excellent quality - hand-made the way it was done before mass production. Admission is free; we left a donatiion. We spent about 90 minutes here seeing the various way life was starting in 1880 and through to almost 1980. The museum is only open from 10:00 A - 2:00 P on MWF and Saturday. Plan accordingly. The top floor boasts an old courthouse. The basement carries a lot of equipment from 100 years ago. Lots to see."

"There's a tremendous amount of fascinating info & artifacts in this building! Can easily spend a day here, many different types of archives here, interesting "Did you know" signs. The volunteers are wonderful! Active weaving looms still being used, purchased a few handmade rugs."

"This is my family's favorite place. My grandson's enjoy looking at all the instering things there: the bar, the safe and model train set. I enjoy going to see the looms and volunteering: sewing or cutting rags. Great thing to do when it's raining or when you need a break from the mosquitoes."
