Professionally constructed exhibits examine life in Winona as lived by both lumber baron and laborer. The encircling balcony gallery -- once an exercise track -- houses the "County Time-Line" exhibit, which begins with the area's unique geologic formation and a superb collection of Native Americana. The exhibit surprises visitors with the unexpected: Winona's rowdy past, a brief history of our sewers, and the Cold War parking plans to be used during a nuclear war are among the less typical topics examined. Our hands-on children's exhibit, "Walking through Time" received an award from the American Association of State and Local History; children are invited to explore a cave, tipi and river steamboat. Other main floor displays include vehicles, period rooms and thematic exhibits on industry, commerce and transportation.
