GENEVA LAKE MUSEUM
Lake Geneva, WI
Website | Phone: (262) 248-6060
The Geneva Lake Museum collects and maintains an archive of Geneva Lake area historical information for public use.
Mission:
"The mission of the Geneva Lake Museum is to preserve the past for the future." We discover and preserve the rich history that hides throughout Geneva Lake and the surrounding communities. The exhibits within the walls are time capsules that capture the essence of Geneva Lake and its people.
Community Resources:
We collaborate with the LGFD and local schools to provide a private tour with educational emphasis, lunch and participation in the Parade of Trees event. The children create the decorations for the LGFD tree, they come in to decorate the tree, have lunch and then tour the museum privately with 2-3 educational focus areas. The children, firefighters, and museum create a communal bond, fostering inclusion, education, and a shared sense of curiosity and civic pride.
Most Urgent Needs:
Preservation materials are desperately needed!! Vintage items, pictures/postcards and antique documents need to be preserved correctly to last. We have an extensive Postcard collection and many historical documents/pictures that require preservation materials for proper handling and storing.
