Peshtigo Fire Museum

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!

About Comtesse DeSpair

The Comtesse DeSpair sits in sullen silence in The Castle DeSpair, obsessively reflecting upon the horrible void in which we exist. In her spare time (of which she has nothing but), she collects morbid trinkets and reads voraciously about the history of torture. She stores her trinkets in The Asylum Eclectica (http://asylumeclectica.com/). The Comtesse is hideously disfigured and thickly veiled at all hours. Once, an unfortunate servant caught a glimpse beneath the veil and was driven to madness. The Comtesse loves thunderstorms, darkness, and solitude.
