My Nonprofit Reviews

My students were thrilled with their experience at the Eagle River Historical Society Museum. They loved learning about the history of the Eagle River area and this museum has so many great photographs and items for the children to see and touch. The docents were knowledgeable and energetic. They interacted very well with the children. The museum itself is a charming and inviting place to walk into and immediately one's eyes are drawn in all different directions, excitedly waiting to explore. The Eagle River area has such a rich history and it's exciting to know that there are dedicated people committed to preserving and passing along that history to others.

I took my class of 4th graders to the museum for a field trip. All of my students enjoyed this experience quite a bit and learned a lot about Vilas County history. We could have certainly stayed there longer, but the stations were a lot of fun for the students to rotate between. The students loved both the information and the hands on nature of the exhibits. The presenters were very informative, energetic, and worked very well with the fourth graders. As an adult, I was fascinated by all the displays and the organization of the museum. This museum is certainly a hidden gem in Eagle River!
