September 27-October 27, Wednesdays - Sundays, Tactical Escape 101 Mystery at Schlegelmilch
There are strange things happening at the Schlegelmilch House and rumors of a haunting are flying! JINKIES! It may seem deserted, but the evidence of a caretaker, Frank, lingers in every room. Is Frank the key to the mystery? Or is something more sinister afoot? With only 60 minutes on the clock, you’ll need to work together to outsmart Frank, uncover the truth, and prove the house isn’t haunted after all.
Reserve a spot today, hop in your own mystery machine, and help us solve the Mystery at Schlegelmilch.
Where are You? “Doo you have a CLUE?”

History Quest Closing
Get ready for a brand-new, activity-filled children’s exhibit in 2025! All good things must come to an end, and that includes exhibits at the Chippewa Valley Museum. Our children’s exhibit, History Quest, will be closing by October 1. If you want another peek at this one, come on in. And you’ll have an appreciation for the “after” picture when the new space opens this winter. The museum is planning a fun-filled exhibit for local history heroes like you who want to learn more about collecting, preserving, and sharing history. Families can solve puzzles and tackle activities to learn about where we find our treasures and how we protect them from bugs, light, and humidity. And if you’re lucky, you’ll get a chance to visit the Vault to see one of our special artifacts.
