The Crivitz Area Museum Complex is a great place to take a walk through the past and present of the Crivitz and Marinette County area. Travel through eras gone by and see exhibits of an old time kitchen, schoolroom, general store, doctor's office, communications, and many others. Browse through the variety of manuscripts, photographs and bits and pieces of local history. Enjoy the musical instrument and antique tools displays, and a collection of farm equipment both inside and outside. Add to this a tour of the historic logging late 1800's era log building, moved from the Lake Noquebay area and reassembled next to the museum, with a miniature handmade display of an actual logging camp, and many, many artifacts and photos of the logging industry of bygone years.

The Crivitz Area Museum Complex is operated by the Crivitz-Stephenson Historical Society, a nonprofit organization whose sole purpose is to collect, preserve, display and distribute knowledge of the history of the Crivitz area. The Museum Complex is operated totally by volunteers from within the community. Admission to the complex is free, however, donations are greatly appreciated to help defray operational costs.
