About Sussex-Lisbon Area Museum

The museum grew out of a historian's offer to donate his decades-long collection of area history items to the village. The collection includes exhibits on polka and rock music, Kewpie memorabilia, Land O' Lakes baseball, a dissolved local Masonic lodge, pioneer farm and family life, Native American tools, railroad history, and local fossils. A rotating Local Notable Women display honors two women each year. The museum is on the second floor of the Civic Center in Sussex.
