The Albion Academy and Normal School was an academy founded in 1854 by Seventh Day Baptists in the hamlet of Albion in Dane County, Wisconsin.
It was later operated by the Norwegian Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.
Among the treasures at the museum is the canoe paddle created by Sterling North, author of the 1963s bestseller Rascal, for the canoe that North built at his childhood home.
The canoe, unfortunately, was destroyed in the 1960s fire of Kumlien Hall.
(The last remaining building of the academy, Kumlien Hall, was destroyed by fire in the 1960s, but it was rebuilt.)
