Lots to read, lots to learn
Being a Civil War buff, I wasn't sure what a Kenosha Civil War Museum would be able to provide, but it was definitely worth it. They have a lot of info to read, so if you are into taking the time to read everything you will get a lot of great info. The special exhibit was worth the small payment.

Worth a visit!
$5 donation to enter, wonderful 360° movie, great stories from so many perspectives in the civil war. It focuses on Illinois. Ohio, Wisconsin, and Some other great lake Midwest states. Interactive exhibits, beautiful displays, some are definitely worn out but still very much entertaining.
