1877 Peterson Station Museum — Attraction in Peterson

Interesting town museum that's larger than you'd expect. There are many of the usual items (sports memorabililia from the old high school, paintings from the old churches) but also a lot of interesting local items, such as the carved stools and the old two-holer privy. The docent was an older gentleman who was as engaging as the museum itself and was very happy to help us understand the stories behind many of the items. Clearly worth a two-block detour off the Root...

Amazing museum! So much history to learn about for such a small town. The staff was also super friendly and also did a really good job at explaining things. If you ever find yourself in the area it’s definitely worth...

Beautiful, historic railway depot with great local artifacts from the Milwaukee Road, the town of Peterson and the rural communities surrounding the area. Free access and good hours. 11a to 4p...
