At the Eagle River Historical Society, we believe there is just too much history to cover in our neck of the woods, and while our museums do a good job telling the story, it means so much more to go out at see these historic sites and places yourself! So, join us on our annual seasonal tours to learn more about our little community. If you are new to town or have lived here your whole life, we are happy to share the nostalgia of the past and to share the stories of our past. Get out of the museums and take a tour today!

DID YOU KNOW WE ALSO DO HISTORIC PROPERTY TOURS?
Dotted across the north woods there are large amounts of historic homes, camps, resorts, cottages, and boathouses nestled on the shores of our lakes or tucked away in forests, and when given the generous opportunity to share them with the public, the Historical Society will host tours there!
