7*****ABOUT OUR MUSEUM *****
The Chetek  Area Historical Society  purchased a building for
the Chetek Area Museum, it was the former Nelson Realty building, 728 Second Street, Chetek,
the new permanent home for the Museum.  The Museum was previously located in a storefront
on Knapp Street, the Chetek Senior Center, and first established in 1979 in the Chetek Calhoun Library
by our founder, the late ​ Hazel Calhoun.

Opening date in our new location was May 26, 2014.
