Fort Crawford began as a United States Army outpost in the 19th century. The Fort Crawford Museum is located within the second fort associated with Fort Crawford inside of the Second Fort Crawford Military Hospital. The hospital is not active and instead is a 1930’s replica hospital designed by The Daughters of the American Revolution and is designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark as it contains the only original building fragments used in Fort Crawford. The Fort Crawford Museum has been operated by the Prairie Du Chien Historical Society since 1996 and serves a center for local history. The museum is only open seasonally from May to October.
