IW715 - Odd Wisconsin

Share

In Wisconsin
The Wisconsin Historical Museum invites visitors to explore a very odd exhibit. It?s actually called Odd Wisconsin and puts on display some of the most curious objects in its collection. Each artifact comes with a fascinating story, whether it?s a paper dress that was made by Wisconsin?s Scott Paper Company or a flag made out of bras. Or, how about a concrete walleye decoy?
