Impressive Civil War artifacts collection, interactive civil war era sets with audio recordings and a professionally done film . Museum staff lacks warmth and Kenosha cops hang out there far too long.

This museum is about more than just the Civil War. Family history can be researched and the Veterans Gallery has artifacts from all the wars the US has been involved in.

Kenosha Museums

The Civil War Museum is like no other Civil War museum in the country , focusing on the perspectives of the people of the upper Mid West, life-size dioramas, interactive engaging exhibits , 360° Movie .
