Completed in 2000, the Kenosha Public Museum is located on the Lake Michigan shoreline. Its main exhibit is a prehistoric Wooly Mammoth skeleton uncovered in western Kenosha in 1992. The bones revealed new clues about ancient American history; cut marks on the bones indicate that the animals were butchered by humans using stone tools. Carbon dating of those bones indicates their age to be 12,500 years old, one thousand years earlier than the previously accepted presence of humans in the Americas. The museum also displays other Ice Age and fine-art exhibits.
Kenosha's 59,000-square-foot Civil War Museum is under construction and is scheduled to open in the spring of 2008. It will offer an interactive experience in the role of six Midwestern states before, during and after the American Civil War.
