Odd Wisconsin is one of the most unique local history exhibits I have seen, celebrating eccentric collections that originated in this state. There's a little bit of everything here, including plenty of nostalgia.
- a Festivus pole
- Multi-purpose food from the Cold War
- a Hitler piggy bank
- a 7-foot tall bowie knife
- 125 year old toast
- a women's rights flag made out of bras and birth control pills
- a collection of old Presidential campaign buttons
...and my all-time favorite:
Displays of a 1990s family room and 1990s kitchen. Apparently that is a historic decade now. (And yes, it looks pretty accurate!)
There is an additional floor that discusses the natural history of Wisconsin on a more serious tone. (This exhibit includes a life-sized cow and tractor.)
At only $4 per person, the Odd Wisconsin exhibit can keep you busy and educated for several hours about the finest artifacts in the state.
