Indy 500 fans, start your race weekend off with a visit to Fulton's Workshop, included with your admission to the Rassbach Museum, and learn about Menomonie native Harry Miller, "King of the Race Car Builders" in the exhibit space.

Miller engines and their Offenhauser successors won five of ten Indy 500s in the 1920s, nine of ten in the 1930s, four of five in the 1940s, ten of ten in the 1950s, seven of ten in the 1960s, and five of ten in the 1970s -- a grand total of 40 Indy wins. Miller cars and engines accounted for 83 percent of the Indy 500 fields between 1923 and 1928.

The 110th running of the Indianapolis 500 will take place this Sunday, May 24.

NEW at the Rassbach Museum: *The U.S. at 250: From the Collections 1876-1926* is a collaborative exhibit to tell local stories that illuminate U.S. history. Stop in soon--it's a temporary exhibit.

Thanks to our partner museums: the CChippewa Valley Museumand the CChippewa Area History Center

Our new exhibit, The U.S. at 250: From the Collections 1876-1926, opens to the public today. It’s been 250 years since colonists declared their independence, and the system they designed still stands. How has this ongoing experiment shaped the Chippewa Valley?

The Chippewa Valley Museum in Eau Claire, Menomonie’s Russell J. Rassbach Heritage Museum, and the Chippewa Area History Center in Chippewa Falls, are partnering to share our local history beginning in May.

Through some moments — small within the national story — and through a handful of objects that people here used and preserved, we can catch a glimpse into the lives of the local folks who brought us to this moment.

We are also beginning our new social media campaign, This is US at 250. For the next 32 weeks, we’ll feature an artifact from our collection. While these objects were used in the Chippewa Valley, they connected us to the national experiences of US citizens living in other parts of the country. Keep an eye out for these posts on the weekend; they can also be searched by using @250. Diana, Editor

May 21 » Crypted Creatures & Folklore

Make a “cryptid creature” by mixing and matching parts from various stuffed toys. Then imagine a backstory about it like the lumberjacks used to tell.

And there are plenty of other things in Fulton’s Workshop that might interest you, including micro:bit hands-on, our Lego Wall, cardboard construction, magnet wall challenge, wind tunnel and many more.

Come and explore! From 5 to 8 p.m. at the Rassbach Heritage Museum in Menomonie's Wakanda Park.
