3/05/23: Machine has been out of order for a year nd a half, and obviously will not be fixed.

The History Museum at the Castle is across College Avenue from Lawrence University. The museum has previously operated under the names The Outagamie Museum and The Houdini Historic Center. The building in which the museum is housed was formerly a Masonic temple, built in 1923, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The museum's collections focus on the history of the Fox River Valley, containing artifacts from the 1840s onward. The museum also has a large collection of original Harry Houdini performance paraphernalia and personal documents, including a selection of his picks, locks, keys, and handcuffs. The museum also holds a collection of artifacts from the life of Senator Joe McCarthy, who was from the Appleton area. The museum owns 35,000 photographs dating back as far as 1857, including ones of Houdini, McCarthy, Edna Ferber, and Appleton native John Bradley, one of the six men who took part in raising the flag on Iwo Jima.
