Located in the heart of downtown Mukwonago, Wisconsin, the Mukwonago Museum was first established in 1967, when the Red Brick House was purchased with funds left by Mr. Built in 1842 by original Mukwonago settler Sewall Andrews, the home has been restored to a lovely Victorian house, reminiscent of the post-Civil War period with an attached cedar-lined, converted sheep barn housing an extensive, unique collection of Native American artifacts from North American tribes. For 40 years, community volunteers have staffed the museum, updated rooms, and educated guests to impart a love for history to all who visit this unique Mukwonago attraction.
