Thorp Historical Society Tour (2015)
With the doors to the Thorp Historical Society and Telephone Museum open on a regular basis during the summer months, it’s no wonder that the local attraction is drawing in so many patrons!
While many visitors who come through are locals or visitors who once lived in or around the Thorp area, the treasures found in the local museum are drawing in groups from all around the state! One of the most recent groups-a book and yoga club from Phillips, Wisconsin-made a special 75-mile trek just to take a walking tour through Thorp’s Historical Museum.
While taking in all of the special collections and displays, many group members commented on the uniqueness of Thorp’s Museum.
“This museum is very user-friendly,” one member said. “It’s so easy to see all of the things. It’s like actually being there since not everything is behind glass.”
“Your town is so lucky to have something like this,” another commented.
The Thorp Historical Society and Telephone Museum is open every Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. through Labor Day, September 7, or by appointment.
