Chippewa Valley Museum

In 2009, the Chippewa Valley Museum in partnership with local government and other community organizations produced the study, The Good Life: A Cultural Direction for Eau Claire County, which focused on the community’s cultural identity and made recommendations for its future. The museum is now leading an effort to act on the report’s recommendations working with the community to increase the visibility of local history and culture and building a sense of place tied to the county’s rivers and water heritage. The project will develop publications, websites, and new digital programs; create resources that serve residents and attract visitors; and study issues of access identified in the Good Life study.
