The Peshtigo Fire Museum, operated by the Peshtigo Historical Society, commemorates the devastating Peshtigo Fire of 1871, the deadliest fire in US history. Through storytelling, artifacts, exhibits, and a memorial cemetery, the museum preserves the heritage of the community and the lives lost during the tragic event.
Housed in the first church built after the fire, the museum offers visitors a glimpse into the lifestyle of the time and the impact of the fire, with volunteer opportunities available for those interested in sharing the story and history of the Peshtigo Fire with guests.
