I love this place. It is so steeped in history and information. I love learning about local history. It has information about where I was born and raised, and it is so very interesting. It is good for the whole family. There are activities for the young kids and displays for us more seasoned people.

Chris Thull

A great place to learn about our local history and the history for logging.

Kirstin Miller

Had a great time! Very informative and the staff was very knowledgeable and eager to help.

Stacy Leibrich

I have to go back to get the full experience since we ran out of time. Mr. Mike did an AMAZING job with keeping 3rd graders interested.

Lukas Montgomery

Very neat with a lot of information about the logging camps. Especially worth the visit and very cool when they have chainsaw carving contests from people all over the world.

Jennifer M. Wolf

We had a lot of fun learning about the local logging history. Good for school age children and up. Our little ones were a bit too young to enjoy. The staff is very knowledgeable and passionate about the area.

Shelly Winter

Donna Eilers

Fun for all ages

The people who run/ maintain this museum are very passionate about the Eau Claire area heritage. It is great to learn of the folk lore that we do not have in this era, and to hear how this city was formed.

Sara Storter

A great glimpse into the logging history of Wisconsin.

Rachel Bonitz Knits

Really neat place to visit lots of informative displays. Watch out for uneven sidewalls, fell and busted my hand badly.

Tina Giagnoni

We had a nice time walking around looking at the Paul Bunyan statues.

ARLETTA RUD

Learn about lumberjacks and how they lived.

Paul Kurvers

Excellent place for the family! Great exhibits for logging.

Alex Weber

This place is great! It's fun and educational! The reason why I didn't give five stars is because of the new fiberglass statue of Paul Bunyan, it's a demeaning eyesore that brings shame to Paul Bunyan himself.

joshua balk

very intresting and as an adult well worth the trip

Theresa Easterly

I take my 3rd graders on a field trip here every year and we love it! So much to see and do and learn. The tour guide, Mr. Devine, is the best!!!

Jeff McCabe

folklore is powerful when you believe it

Kevin Clark

Meh. Its Paul Bunyan. Cool history of logging in the area.

Annabella Ringstad

There's always something to learn at Paul Bunyan's Logging Camp Museum; and with it being right in Carson Park, it's easy to come visit! PBLCM is a great place to catch up on some local history, tour some historical buildings, and even take a picture next to the big man himself! There is no fee to go here, but hours do vary for when everything is open. Even when it is closed it is fun to meander through the grounds to see what there is to offer.

John Benninger

Very educational!! The movie on farming is exceptional!!

Angie Haats

This museum is a wonderful place! They have a visitors center which contains the gift shop, historical film theater, a childrens play area, and displays. There are also 4 "outside" buildings. They are all fully walkable and wheelchair accessible being connected by new sidewalks. Extra buildings include Lumberjack Cook Shanty/Bunk House, Heavy Equipment Shed, Barn, and Blacksmith Shop. All out buildings are stocked with accurate equipment and interactive displays that put you up close and personal with the history of the 1800s. What makes this museum completely worth the visit is the price! 7$ for adults and 4$ for kids aged 6-17 That's the cheapest Museum I've ever encountered!

Rebecca Mattson

If you want to step back in history to the Logging day’s of the 1890s in the Chippewa Valley Museum visit here between May 1 and Sept. 30.

matt brugge

Nice place

Jody Hamann

Loved the logging history!

David Marshall

Love the place, it brought back memories of when I was a kid and I went there for a school Field Trip

Daryl Morning

Nice place to bring the family to enjoy the local history. The area has playgrounds and sports if the history needs a break.

Nancy Shepard

Checking out Wisconsin logging history..

Cynthia P

Mildly interesting museum with recreations of lumber life. Easy to get through in under an hour. Admission is modest at $7 for adults but overpriced for what you get. I’m surprised to see the highly rated reviews. If you’re in the area and looking for something to do, go for it. Otherwise, pass.

Dee Supri

Really good Pokestop.

John Reidy

Great place for logging history

Lawrence Ginnow

Very nice display of old logging tools. Museum tour guide was very nice and knowledgable. Nice little gift shop too, we purchased a book on Wisconsin logging.

Nathan Vogt

Nice thought just could use a little refinement.

Dawn Christensen

Super friendly staff. Awesome tour. Our family of 6 loved it!

William Weightman

Great exhibits for all ages. Clean, well maintained. Very helpful volunteers. Really well done and a great example for smaller cities in how to do a museum well. The Paul Bunyan theme wasn't really necessary, but it's probably fun for kids.

John De Silvio

History alive and well in Way Claire

S. Schram

Lots of cool local history! Good for the whole family.
