We stopped at the Kr. Kate Museum in Woodruff, WI. It is a very short drive from Minocqua and worth a stop. The good works that this doctor did for the area are documented and other period related displays here were interesting to see. No fee, but donations to maintain the museum are appreciated.

Worth a million pennies

The Dr Kate museum is worth a stop on your way up north. Our tour guide, Cathy, was a child during the million penny parade so she had great stories for us. The museum was small so it won't take too much time. You'll enjoy it!
