Oconto Archaic Copper Museum is located at Copper Culture State Park, at 260 Copper Culture Way, Oconto, Wisconsin 54153.
The "Oconto Site" is a prestigious Registered National Historic Landmark,
one of only 42 such sites in Wisconsin.
It is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places: Wisconsin.
This diorama, at the entrance to the museum,
shows how life might have looked like during the copper culture period.
Some of the cool maps inside the museum:
Charles Werrebroeck (right), who brought all the bricks from Belgium
about 1900 to build the house that is now home to the museum (below).
The house is a beautiful representation of old-world Belgium architecture and design.
Pretty fall flowers attract loads of bumblebees,
at the entrance to the museum.
The museum is operated by the Copper Culture Historical Association.
