Amberg Museum showcases a unique quarrying exhibit, featuring a pictorial history of quarrying in Amberg alongside a collection of quarrying tools and memorabilia. An original derrick from the August Paveglio Quarry stands as a highlight, while the Downing Recollections offer informative and often humorous pioneer tales through a gallery of photographs.
Visitors can immerse themselves in the lumbering exhibit, where chainsaws hang from the ceiling, and stamped logs from river drives are on display. Younger guests can enjoy hands-on activities like puzzles and coloring sheets. Guided tours of the complex are available, or guests can explore at their own pace and opt for an audio tour, which includes engaging tales like the "Near Lynching of Charles Dahl."
The museum complex houses various exhibits, including quarrying, logging, veterans, farming, local businesses, churches, Native American culture, and a blacksmith shop. The Heritage House showcases local artifacts from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, while the original Amberg Railroad Depot contains artifacts from the Milwaukee and Northern Railroad. Moreover, visitors interested in genealogical research can access a wealth of records, obituaries, and school publications for exploration.
