Everything OddWay knows about. Narrow it down by what you're after, or where you're going.
Small, specific collections run by people who care far too much.
Superior, WI
SS Meteor is the last surviving example of the unusual whaleback cargo-ship design developed for Great Lakes service. The vessel's rounded cigar-like hull can be toured seasonally at Barker's Island.
Shawano, WI
Twig's preserves the history of Sun Drop and the local bottling business through vintage bottles, machinery, advertising and soda memorabilia. Visitors can watch bottling activity and sample soda, making it a working-industry museum rather than a static display.
Hartford, WI
The museum specializes in Wisconsin-connected automobiles, especially Kissel cars once built in Hartford. Historic vehicles share the building with engines and transportation displays, preserving a lesser-known chapter of the state's manufacturing history.
Warrens, WI
Located in one of the state's major cranberry-growing areas, this museum explains how the fruit is cultivated, harvested and processed. Historic equipment and agricultural displays turn an everyday juice ingredient into a surprisingly specialized Wisconsin story.
Manitowoc, WI
The museum's centerpiece is USS Cobia, a World War II submarine permanently moored on the Manitowoc River. Visitors can tour the cramped vessel while learning how Manitowoc shipyards built submarines for the war effort.
