ABOUT US
Located in the heart of Downtown Slinger, the Museum officially opened its doors on June 28, 2020. Our 5,000-square-foot exhibit space takes visitors on a journey through 180 years of local history—from Slinger’s founding in 1845 by Baruch Schleisinger Weil to the vibrant community it is today.
At the Slinger Historical Museum, we strive to inspire a deeper appreciation for our community’s rich heritage through engaging exhibitions, educational programs, and carefully preserved collections. Our partnerships with local organizations, schools, and churches help us create meaningful programs for all ages, promoting lifelong learning and a passion for history.
The Slinger Historical Museum is a self-funded 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, operated entirely by dedicated volunteers.
We look forward to serving and celebrating our community for many years to come.
