 Grand River Valley Museum & Train Depot - Markesan

 

The Grand River Valley Museum 2009 open season is coming to an end. Be sure to visit soon, September 27th is the last day of the season. The quiet, Midwestern town of Markesan, Wisconsin houses a well-kept secret and maybe even a few closet skeletons. Few people know about the Mackford Murder or the missing gold shipment on its way to Green Bay. Fewer still realize that Markesan once manufactured washing machines and baseball bats. These and many other "skeletons" can be discovered at the Grand River Valley Museum located at 214 E. John Street in Markesan, WI.
