Today, it is a great place to learn about the earliest days of the Town of Mequon and appreciate the quality of the leadership who formed our community. It’s also an opportunity for philatelists to talk stamps with the museum’s founder and curator, Sam Cutler. Please call (262) 242-3107 or email mthistory1839@gmail.com for additional information.
