Im SO glad we went! I had some reservations taking a six year old,for numerous reasons but she absolutely fell in love with the whole house! It was,as expected, decorated for the holidays and each room was beautiful! This was my first time visiting here in over 40 years and the only thing that I recognized was the Apostle Clock and the gorgeous staircase. We went to the front desk first and the woman who answered our questions was so friendly and helpful...she explained the various things to do and see, especially geared towards children-awesome. She gave us a colorful paper with pictures of 20 different elves that arehiddenthroughout the museum and the kids check off each elf as they find them! That alone kept my little one interested as well as the VERY cool fact that the museum actually ENCOURAGES them to touch things! This was really unexpected,I planned on an afternoon ofdont touchandbe carefulbut yay! Just the opposite was happily true! This certainly was not the museum of MY childhood! I highly recommend bringing your young ones if theyre 5yrs or older or the interest may not hold for long. For my little one,2 hours was just enough time and she spied 17 elves!!!! Definitely will return!

Very nice little museum. I was doing early Christmas shopping and noticed the gift shop was having a sale. The lady in the gift shop was wonderful

Beautiful place. Clean. Nice at the front desk.

Beautiful historical building. Fantastic Native American exhibit.

Very interesting displays on things of the past.

Love this hidden gem in the Oshkosh community. Gorgeous museum. Also been here for a few speakers the museum frequently brings in. Cant wait to get back there for the next exhibit.

Very clean and well kept most of the exhibits have to do with the local

It was wonderful! I loved exploring the whole place!

I enjoy visiting the Oshkosh Public Museum several times a year. Their main exhibits are great ( I am loving the upgrades coming in as well) and I love the special activities they put on for the special exhibits. Its fun for Both adults and children.

This is an amazingly interesting museum which tells the story of the area, and the history which made Wisconsin and Oshkosh itself. Intriguing displaces often captivate your thoughts and the beautiful house in which the museum is housed captures the imagination. With activities for people, and kids, of all ages, this is a stop which I would highly recommend.

Fun seeing my own dolls and riding horse on display.

Beautiful place to visit. Neat to see historical photos compared to modern times.

Great time, good exhibit!

Great little museum. Small but packed with interesting items and information about the area, history, native Americans and some fun and interactive displays. I especially liked listening to the native American speaking names of towns and rivers. And the clock was wonderful although not all the doors opened and I was a bit disappointed.

This is a small public museum but its well taken care of and the apostle clock is a wonderful thing to see it is more than a hundred years old. Their workers work very hard to present everything with a lot of class and they do a great job. The Payne mansion is right across the street so you can do both of them in less than in less than 4 hours. I think its time well spent

It was ok, I believe for what you pay to get in I could have paid a few dollars more I could have went too the Milwaukee museum and did everything and alot longer, and with the main attraction closed being the lumbar and logging camp it was not worth it too me. It is a beautiful place and I would recommend to anyone to go and see it .

A beautiful museum in an old turn of the century home that is full of the history of Oshkosh, Wisconsin. There is a winter Gala every year after Thanksgiving is held to raise money put on by the lovely ladies of the auxillary. The decorations are very festive and they bring out the beautiful silver punch bowl that belongs to the museum.

Cool place to go to. It is cool to figure out a lot about Wisconsin and such. But if you are not a fan of reading then this is probably not the best place for you. Its got a lot of great exhibits and interactive stuff. My favorite was getting to sit on one of those old bycicles where one wheel is big and one is small.

My grandson and I really enjoyed ourselves. The exhibitCemetary Tales was excellent. Nice afternoon . Well worth the admission. Would definitely go again.

This is a small museum but well maintained it gives you a look into the yesteryears of Oshkosh one of the main features is the apostle clock hand built over a hundred years old. It has a unique display that runs every hour with the apostles and Jesus Christ. Even though this museum is small its displays are done very well just like youd see in a large metropolitan museum. The museum sets right across the street from the pain mansion and gardens. Easy to visit both in one day

The Oshkosh Public library is a beautiful facility and the Apostles clock is timeless. Perhaps a little light on exhibits but a wonderful adventure to be part of.

Was such a fun little place to go explore and learn more about Oshkosh, Wisconsin! They have interactive displays and also a place for the kids to have fun as well.

I really enjoyed it here. It was pretty neat to see the cities history. Staff there was helpful highlighting some pretty neat features.

Great museum that is constantly updating. Lots of great history and themes.

Gorgeous 100+ yr old home filled with a varied collection of local history. The homes original woodwork, Tiffany tapestries, and tiffany glass is worth going to see, also have a great new native american exhibit with many hands on features. The 2nd floor has a temporary exhibit of native american art (closes 10-8-17) plus permanent exhibits, with more hands on features, of a frontier home and Grandmas closet with lots of toys, dressup clothes, books to play with. All that PLUS dont miss the Apostle clock - it chimes at the top of every hour!

Great museum. I love that it is always changing.

Wonderful displays. Great Native American exhibit. Just was extremely disappointed that the holiday decorations were taken down before Epiphany. From the looks of the storage tubs being packed they looked very elaborate.

Recommend to go and see. Beautiful house that is part of the museum

Very nice. Apostle Clock unique. Interactive exhibits very informative.

I went to purchase a spot in an upcoming jewelry class to make a beaded bracelet. Very friendly staff and very knowledgeable.

Some cool exhibits and a lot of good history of Oshkosh.

Tour was nice, need to go back and look around myself

Wonderful time! So much History and We loved the Apostle Grandfather clock!

Very nice display. Grandmas Attic was great for kids to play.

It has items that are original, yet unique to Wisconsin, compared to any other museum.

Super cool cemetery takes exhibit

Very interesting place!

Had a very pleasurable experience with our granddaughters. Staff was professional and very informative, and they really reach children with detailed explanation.

Loved the different displays in a Victorian mansion setting. Very clean and well kept place. Very interesting place to stop at.

Great for an easy educational outing with the kids...or adults. Really cool exhibits telling the story of Oshkosh history. Often has rotating exhibits that much larger museums might have.

Informative and helpful staff

Awesome place to learn new things

Always a fun visit. They had a great treasure hunt for kids. Exhibits are set up well and interactive for little ones.

Nice bits of history in a lovely house. I stopped in for a book signing by Jan Brett. It was well organized. A plus for families is all the hands on for kida.

Great museum, I visited around Christmas and the decorations were beautiful!

Nicely kept-up and surprisingly detailed exhibits

Such a neat place!

Great historic property with very interesting past. We went to see Great Gatsby and World war exhibit. Loved it, and looking forward to future ones!

This historic museum is a great place to visit if you want to learn more about the history of Oshkosh. It also houses one of the most unique artifacts you will ever see - The Apostles Clock!!

A Trip in a another Time, great Museum

Low cost. Unique items. A must see.

A gem. Worth the time

Great place to learn about the city and very interactive.

Very nice place to visit and learn some important Wisconsin history.

Great place to visit and learn!

Absolutely stunning space. The clocks were magnificent

I went when the admittance was discounted for the season, otherwise it might have been a little pricy to bring the whole family. Nevertheless, Ive been visiting this museum since I was a little kid and I have always been intrigued by the new exhibits and impressed by how many things to learn are packed into this beautiful building.

Its a neat place but its small. So, the exhibits are small. I think the admission price is high for what you get.

Great fun for the grandchildren!

Our friends from China loved this museum.

Nice museum in a beautiful historical home, very friendly staff

We have gone a few times in the last couple of years. My kids really enjoyed the Lego exhibit and the dinosaurs exhibit.

Great diplays this year.

Interesting and has 4 Poke stops and a gym.

Beautiful museum, wonderfully designed, friendly staff.
