New Canoe Museum to Open in May

Posted by Unknown at 12:47 PM
Holy smokes, my Own Dear One found out about a canoe museum before me!

The Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum , or WCHM, in Spooner, WI (NOT to be confused with the WCHA, i.e., the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association) plans to open its doors to the public for the first time May 29, 2010. Already, the workshop is in use, and several canoes are being worked on by volunteers.

With only 5,500 square feet and two or three dozen canoes, this looks like small stuff compared to the Canadian Canoe Museum. But it seems like a nice start, and the website has the feel of an organization that knows what its doing and is peopled by serious folks. It might be a while before its worth a really long-distance trip, but its only 75 miles from Duluth, Minnesota, and if youre in the area, Id say its worth checking out. (Feel free to report back here with any findings.)
