Peshtigo Fire Museum (Peshtigo, Wisconsin)

Elizabeth recommends this museum:
“One place in Wisconsin that could be of interest is the Peshtigo Fire Museum. The fire happened back in 1871 (the exact same night as the Chicago fire) and is still the largest natural disaster the country has ever seen. I just found a pretty good website on it, just in case you want to read more into it:http://www.rootsweb.com/~wioconto/Fire.htm. All the survivor accounts are really amazing.”

Allen agrees: “I highly recommend going to the Peshtigo Fire museum in Peshtigo (duh), lots of artifacts and inormation. This website has lots of information: http://www.peshtigofire.info.”

Looks like a must-see the next time I’m in Wisconsin!
