Wow! The volunteer who told us the story of the Peshtigo Fire was amazing. She is so full of wealth in knowledge, it was truly an honor to learn from her. The museum itself is very interesting, it is free, but we did give a donation. Please consider donating if you visit this place, it truly is a treasure. Did you know the Peshtigo Fire and the Chicago Fire were on the same night?! Visit for a lot more cool facts.
It was definitely an interesting stop but nothing what it had been made out to be by others. I think Peshtigo Fire Museum is a bit of a inaccurate name as its more of a Peshtigo area History Museum as only 3 display cases had anything to do with the actual fire. Same can be said for the cemetery, a very small number of marked graves of fire victims and most being identified as a mass grave. I will say I was very impressed with the tour/history given by Paige; she was very polite and knowledgeable of the areas past.
Very little of the museum is devoted to the fire. Most of it is just a collection of antiques from local people. Ladies working there were quite good in terms of describing the fire.
It is an overall history museum of the era, more than just about the fire. It is still interesting to learn about what happened and what life was like.
Lots of cool stuff but not so much of period pieces actually from Peshtego (of course not, the town was totally destroyed). The history of the fire is fascinating, particularly if you've been to the Hinkley fire museum.
