The museum has an amazing collection of historical artifacts for such a small community. Our docent John have us a two-hour personal tour and we learned so much about the history of Lake Geneva that we want to come back and revisit some of the exhibits in more detail.

Quaint little museum for such a small town! The employees were very knowledgeable and passionate about explaining the history to my partner and I. Highly recommend going with this Groupon!

There is so much awesome information about the Lake Geneva area here. The experience is enhanced when you have a docent going around with you adding their own knowledge and information. I also would recommend taking one of the boat tours as this also adds to the wealth of information learned about the area.

About Geneva Lake Museum
Situated inside the historic Power & Light building, the Geneva Lake Museum replicates Lake Geneva's Main Street from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Inside the museum, visitors stroll around admiring the turn-of-the-century Georgian and Italianate architecture that forms historic stores, a school room, and a 1920s dental workstation, among other spaces. Guests may walk into the rooms themselves and closely examine old-fashioned farm implements, a telephone switchboard, or Potawatami tools and arrowheads. Beyond Main Street, museum visitors can study up on Frank Lloyd Wright's Hotel Geneva or the Chicago & North Western Railway. Sightseers can also explore Lake Geneva, the city's namesake and a 7.6-mile body of water that empties into the White River. The lake is surrounded by a 23-mile public path, which makes the area attractive to Midwesterners who want to take a scenic day trip or ducks that want to train for a marathon.
