KUHEFUSS HOUSE MUSEUM
Maintained by the Cultural Center, the Kuhefuss House
Museum is among the oldest and most important residences
in Cedarburg. This simple Greek Revival structure has
stood sentinel beside Washington Avenue for nearly
150 years. During this period, the house provided shelter for
five generations of one of Cedarburg's oldest families.
School teacher Marie Kuhefuss, the last surviving member
of the family, bequeathed the home to the Cultural Center in
1989. A founding member of the Center, Miss Kuhefuss
also left an extensive collection of family photographs and
memorabilia which can be seen in the home.

 

GENERAL STORE MUSEUM
The General Store Museum is housed in a
restored 1860's era frame building on the south end
of Cedarburg's main National Historic District.
The Roger C. Christensen Collection of antique
packaging and advertising art, which is housed in the
General Store Museum, dates from the early 1900's
through the 1940's, and is believed to be one of the
most extensive of its kind in the Midwest.
The Cedarburg Cultural Center curates the Christensen
Collection in the Museum while the Cedarburg Chamber
of Commerce which shares the space, maintains the
Cedarburg Visitors Center.

 

RESTORED 1920'S  SCHOOLROOM
 
The Lincoln Building, once Cedarburg's only grade school,
is the home of the Cedarburg Cultural Center's restored
1920's school room. Filled with ornate desks, slate tablets
and inkwells, this room takes visitors back to a bygone era
and a simpler time. School groups participating in the
Center's Walking Tours as well as other groups of visitors
frequently request to experience this historic little room.
