No Norman Rockwell Museum in Wisconsin
The Norman Rockwell Museum in Wisconsin no longer exists. The Museum of Norman Rockwell Art in Reedsburg, Wisconsin was another fine museum. Alas, it is no longer.
As best as I can determine, the museum never owned any original Norman Rockwell paintings. However, the almost 4,000 original magazine covers, calendars, story illustrations and advertisements on display would have made quite an impression on their own. A visitor to this part of Wisconsin could have spent the better part of a day enjoying this Rockwell museum.
In addition to the original paper publications, other memorabilia were on display as well.
Admission tickets were very reasonably priced: Adult -$6.00, Senior over 65 -$5.00, and Child 13-18 -$3.00.
When in Reedsburg, the museum was a little over a block off East Main St (33-23). Turn south on South Park Street at the 300 block and continue past the Vine Street intersection. The museum was just past the intersection on the left. Stop by and mourn its passing.
