Very good museum. They have a lot of different exhibits that really do a good job painting the city of Racine in the past. Definitely somewhere I'd go back to or recommend to anyone.

I loved visiting here. They have very detailed and educational exhibits. The fact new ones come in gives you a great reason to come back. Also, on the first floor there is a great room for kids to learn and play. In addition the look out station on the second floor allows you to get a great view of Lake Michigan. Be sure to check online for featured exhibits too!

Excellent Underground Railroad exhibit holding the stories of Joshua Glover and Caroline Quarlles (escaped to freedom from Missouri to Racine, MN when she was 16 & then to Canada when things were no longer safe).

Stopped by on the way to tour at SC Johnson (highly recommended). Enjoyed the exhibits and learning about the history of the area. The guy at the desk recommended lunch on the pier. We stopped at O&H bakery on the way into town. Great day in Racine, WI

My kids absolutely love this place. I take them here quite often. The admission is FREE, but there is a donation box when you walk in. They have fun games for the kids to do. 1. Scavenger hunt. Find the ducks. Level easy. 2. Eye Spy. Level medium 3. Reading artifacts then identifying them. Level Hard. My kids love doing this and always have a great time. After each hunt the kids get a prize as well.
