Racine Heritage Museum is home to over 200,000 artifacts and an extensive archival collection documenting our area's economic and cultural history. Our exhibit and educational program reflect our commitment to object-centered learning, and to exploring our area's historic and emergent technologies in their local cultural and worldwide contexts.
