The Chetek Area Historical Society purchased a building for
the Chetek Area Museum, it was the former Nelson Realty building, 728 Second Street, Chetek,
the new permanent home for the Museum. The Museum was previously located in a storefront
on Knapp Street, the Chetek Senior Center, and first established in 1979 in the Chetek Calhoun Library
by our founder, the late Hazel Calhoun.
