About

Langlade County Historical Museum is a museum in Antigo. We are dedicated to preserving and communicating the history of Langlade County, from Wisconsin Glaciation to the present day. We maintain a museum campus downtown along U.S. Route 45. Our campus includes a former Carnegie library that served as the towns public library from 1905 to 1997. We also feature a steam train locomotive and caboose from the early 1900s, plus the original 1878 log cabin of Antigos founder, Francis Deleglise. Our museum building hosts an extensive archive of local historical documents. This archive is open to the public, and our volunteers can assist with research and photo reproduction.

I like the museum but the sign park they were awarded downtown is not being maintained there's grass and weeds everywhere there's broken benches and it's declined since the former owners had it. EDIT They are very responsive and listen to there bad reviews within days of this review they were put there cleaning it up

This was a REALLY cool museum! They have so many things to see here. I went with my three kids while we were passing through town and we all loved it. My kids said it's been one of their favorite museums.

Way better than most local historical societies. Attentive, informative and enthusiastic staff.Excellent collection covering a wide range of issues. Could use more on pre-settler history.

It was awesome y'all! We got to see a lot of cool pics and the history of where we live. We also got to see a map of all the people that visited from all over America and Alaska and Canada. It was an amazing stop. ❤️
