Peshtigo Fire Museum

It hosts storytelling, exhibits of artifacts from the fire, displays of the lifestyle at the time of the disaster, and a cemetery to memorialize those who died.

[1][2] The museum is adjacent to the Peshtigo Fire Cemetery, where the charred remains of over 350 people were buried in a mass grave.

[4] [1] A featured item in the museum's collection is the Church tabernacle that local Roman Catholic priest Father Peter Pernin saved by submerging in the Peshtigo River.

Other Peshtigo fire items include a small burned Bible and a melted glass dish discovered by a construction worker in 1995.

The Congregational church was moved across the river, by Edmund B. Dupuis, after 1927 to the St. Mary's site and that structure was converted to the museum in 1963.
