Admission

There is no admission charge to visit the Hoard Museum. Contributions to our Donation Box are gratefully accepted. A suggested cash donation of $5.00 per person or $10 per family helps preserve and share the history and cultural heritage of the Fort Atkinson area. Thank you!

This is a museum for people of all ages. We help families with young children and three-generation families find meaning and make memories here at the museum. This includes elementary level scavenger hunts, a Kids’ Korner area for playing and reading while parents and grandparents explore the Museum Gift Shop, a diaper changing table in the woman’s restroom, and step stools in both restrooms. Ask our volunteer for a scavenger hunt and to take your family photo with the colorful fiberglass cow in our front entryway!

Accessibility

The Hoard Museum is handicap accessible with an automatic main door, an elevator, and handicap bathrooms. There is one wheelchair available for use within the building. Please note: the adjacent 1841 Foster House is not wheelchair accessible.
