About the Location:
Bella and Leo Capser opened the Madeline Island Museum in 1958. Their original collection of artifacts and texts has helped document centuries of island history, while later additions and expansions to the museum paint an even richer, deeper portrait of life on the Apostle Islands. The Ojibwe and other tribes made their home on Madeline Island, the largest of the Apostle Islands, for thousands of years before Europeans first made contact—in Ojibwe, the island is named Mooningwanekaaning-minis, which means island of the yellow-breasted woodpecker. Because of its strategic location and ample resources, the island served as a trading center for millennia and later a reliable fur trading post, missionary headquarters and commercial fishing zone for European settlers in the North American interior.
The museum, composed of four historic island structures and the modern Capser Center, contains exhibits detailing Wisconsin history from 17th-century exploration and the era of the fur trade to the arrival of summer islanders, in the early 20th century.
