Spark Your Imagination
The Winnebago Area Museum began as an outgrowth of the 1976 Bicentennial celebration for the nation.
Interested citizens realized there was a need for a museum. They wrote a grant and applied for funding. A fundraising committee was started and the group began planning a museum.
​
The Winnebago Area Museum was dedicated in 1977. The city provided a small budget to the museum that has been tended by a loyal volunteer group to this day. The community has continued their support with gifted items to the museum throughout the years.
​
Because of the dedicated local community, the Winnebago Area Museum has remained free to all visitors!
