Even when our museum director, Rachel Lange, isn't working, she's making history! Congratulations to her team, UWEC Women's Rugby , and her as assistant coach on becoming National Champions earlier this month!

"Even though it’s been 100 years or more since lumber played a major role in Eau Claire’s economy…. every school kid in town knows logging was the start of it, somehow. They know about Paul Bunyan out there in Carson Park. And they know about lumberjacks." -- Chad R., Wisconsin Hometown Stories, 2018.

Last year, almost 2,700 school children visited the Wisconsin Logging Museum and/or Chippewa Valley Museum. One year-end gift will help support both museums. One gift will help bring history alive for hundreds of students. Make a gift at tinyurl.com/GreatFieldTrips
