Madeline Island Museum

Madeline Island Museum Discover the magic that has drawn people to Madeline Island's legendary shores for centuries. Locate

The Museum became a Wisconsin Historic Site in the late 1960s when Leo and Bella Capser donated the museum to the Wisconsin Historical Society. In 1991 the endowment established by the Capsers provided the means to add the newer Capser Center. This modern facility houses changing exhibits on island and regional history, an auditorium, a museum store, space for collections storage and exhibit fabri

cation, and staff offices. Fifty years after opening, the original Madeline Island Museum looks very much like it did back in 1958, chock-full of fascinating objects and artifacts from one of the richest historical collections in Wisconsin.
