It's not the Eiffel Tower or the Grand Canyon, but it is such an interesting place to stop and stretch your legs on a nice day while you're out on an up-north excursion. Read the Sacajawea inscription, see my photo. Due to Covid-19 the gift shop was closed, so we had to figure out what this place was about just by reading stuff on the outside of the building and other signage. Fred Smith was quite a character! You're not supposed to touch or climb on the statues, so if you keep your kids under control, this is a fine place for them. Lots of mosquitoes, have bug repellent.

If you are interested in Native American history and culture, past and present, the George W…read more Brown, Jr. museum is an excellent place to learn about the Lac du Flambeau band of the Lake Superior Ojibwe (a.k.a Chippewa). The focal point of the museum revolves around four life size dioramas depicting aspects of traditional Ojibwe life in every season. Smaller displays around the perimeter of the museum feature things the Lac du Flambeau band is known for, including: traditional spearfishing decoys and equipment, moccasins, bead work, basketry, birch bark canoes, wild rice harvesting, and maple syrup production. Contemporary tribal history is also well documented -- in particular the struggle to continue to exercise their treaty rights (including spearfishing) in the ceded territory. Though it is a small museum, we spent nearly an hour examining the artifacts and reading the detailed descriptions of everything on display. I would encourage everyone living or visiting in the north woods of Wisconsin to visit the museum to learn about and respect the First Nation people whose land is now a vacation destination for urbanites from Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and Minnesota.

This little store is located in downtown Park Falls. They carry gift, home decor, kitchen ware, and…read moresimilar-type items. It's a pretty large space with two sections--it looks like it was two storefronts that were combined into a single shop. The second section has some children and baby items as well as an ice cream shop, which was unexpected. I bought a cute photo frame and some warm super fluffy socks that I am really excited to wear (this is adulting, apparently). They had a small collection of books as well, and I can't seem to get out of a place that has children's books without buying one for my child. Incidentally the book I bought here, which is small and not one of great fame, has become her favorite book. The woman at the store was friendly when I checked out. Something to note is that it is not accessible. There is one or two steps to get into the main shop, and if you go to the part with the ice cream shop there are a couple steps to get into that half of the shop. Parking is plentiful.

They have a variety of items, so you could easily find a gift for someone here if you're not looking for yourself. They had some cute wind chimes and there was one I liked a lot, but I just moved and am not familiar enough with my new home to know where it could go. They had some plants and planters--I certainly don't need another planter but there was a hedgehog on that was too cute to leave on the shelf. They have some t-shirts, including some Park Falls souvenir ones. There were some baby items, jewelry, and what they're probably best known for--their bath bar. They had a nice large sink and a variety of oils, soaps, and so on for folks to smell and try. I didn't buy any bath stuff but I always appreciate when a store selling lotions and potions has a sink for you to rinse off. Service was friendly and not pushy. Parking is super easy; I'm not sure if there's ever a busy time in Park Falls, but there was street parking directly in front of the store and throughout the downtown.
