Oshkosh Public Museum

Situated just off the Fox River near historic downtown Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the Oshkosh Public Museum features more than 10,000 square feet of exhibits showcasing the heritage of Oshkosh and the Lake Winnebago Region of Wisconsin. In addition to hosting world-class traveling exhibitions and events throughout the year, the Oshkosh Public Museum also offers a wide variety of interactive local history exhibits to suit interests and guests of all ages. Discover the hidden treasures of Grandma’s Attic, explore the natural history and significance of the area’s wetlands and waterways or experience the history of the logging and lumbering industries that put Oshkosh on the map. Several galleries of the Oshkosh Public Museum are located in the historic Sawyer family home, an English Tudor Revival residence built in 1908 for lumber baron and banker, Edgar P. Sawyer, and his family. A visit to the Museum is hardly complete without a stroll through the mansion halls to marvel at the rich interiors designed by the famous Tiffany Studios of New York.
