Review & FAQ:
The historical museum building was once a Carnegie Library. It is a two-story Beaux Arts style / Renaissance Revival building made out of Bedford limestone. In 1962 the Racine County Museum was formed and in 1982 merged with the Historical Society. The Racine Heritage Museum has a large archival collection and several permanent collections. These include material about the factories that started in Racine, such as Johnson Wax and Horlicks; the Underground Railway and the Abolitionist movement; the role of the harbor; and Frank Lloyd Wright in Racine. Tribute is also paid to Laurel Clark who died on the Columbia shuttle.
