*****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 of the new location was May 26, 2014
