Log Barn

Now used for the Heritage Center blacksmith
and carpenter tool collections, the barn was
originally one of the outbuildings of a farm
east of New Richmond. Blacksmith and woodworking shops were some
of a pioneer village's first businesses.

    Camp 9 School
Originally sited near Glenwood City, it was built in 1902 to serve the children of logging Camp Nine. This one-room school is paired with one of its old outhouses.

Ubet Store

Built in 1933, it was the center of the tiny town of Ubet. The wainscoting interior is original, as is the painted shelving which is stocked with what a general store would have sold to the rural community of the time.

    Norwegian Cabin
This small building, built by immigrants in 1887 in Reeve, served other immigrants, too, as a lodging until they could build their own.

Pavilion
A "new" building designed to look like an "old" farm machine shed, the Pavilion serves a dual purpose as meeting place and permanent display room. Farm tools and machinery line the walls and there is a permanent display of the June 12, 1899 cyclone that leveled New Richmond (still  listed as  Wisconsin's

  worst tornado).

    Northside House
As the family grew, the house grew, too, built in two sections in 1890 and 1894. Hard-working Scandinavians lived on the "northside" of New Richmond and kept the flour and saw mills running. Heritage Center's office is here. Display rooms feature original owner's furnishings.

Heritage Church
The Emmanuel Evangelical Lutheran Church, built in 1891 in Superior, is a typical rural church.
In early pioneer communities, a church and school were the next buildings built after the home cabins and barns. Walk the grounds as you wish; all the buildings have mini-histories posted outside. Or, stop at the Northside House office and ask for a fee-guided tour which includes inside the buildings. Turn the kids loose to wear off some energy on the 11-acre Paperjack Greenway trails. Visit and enjoy. You are so welcome!

History Shed

The interior of this  new building houses a combination of communications and transportation artifacts and memorabilia the museum has collected.

Farmhouse

The Bell-Tierney Farmhouse, built in 1884, can be used for many occasions.  This beautiful setting could be the perfect, elegant setting for your special event.  Small weddings, bridal showers, receptions, adult birthday parties, family gatherings, a special tea or luncheon, even a holiday party.  A unique meeting place for many occasions!  The Farmhouse is both heated and air-conditioned so can be used year around. It is filled with museum artifacts that represent the New Richmond area over the past 150+ years so has built-in entertainment of a very distinctive type.  The fees for use are reasonable and always include the use of the grounds at the Heritage Center. 

The farmhouse can be set up to seat up to 55 people on the first floor for a sit down meal.  An open house style event can be more flexible.  Please keep in mind this is a house, so those diners would be spread throughout several rooms with different types of tables and chairs to accommodate them.  There is a steep, but functional, ramp at the kitchen door for better access for visitors with walkers and wheelchairs.  There is one bathroom on the first floor and a second one on the upper floor.

Pavilion

This modern example of an old machine shed makes a wonderful location for events such as graduations parties, wedding receptions, family reunions, and other programs.  The Pavilion showcases some of the sturdier, farming and lumber artifacts but leaves the main, central part of the building, open for organizing your event your way. 

The Pavilion can seat 120 people at one sitting and an open house can be much more flexible. There are eleven banquet tables and 120 chairs for your use.

Church

The Heritage Church, originally built in 1891, has seen its share of weddings, baptisms and funerals while in use by its congregation in Superior, WI.  Since being moved to the Heritage Center it has continued as a place for weddings, funerals, baptisms, worship service and even as a unique venue for a craft sale.  This multi-purpose building is perfect for an event where seating 120+ people while having space to present the program is needed.  The church is very comfortable in the spring, summer and fall but it is not heated for winter use.  When you rent the Church you also have the use of the restrooms in the Pavilion during your event.  The Church has four wide wood steps for access.  Use of the bells in the tower is encouraged.
