The Trempealeau County Virtual Museum



Welcome to the Trempealeau County virtual museum. Trempealeau County is located in west central Wisconsin and was created in 1854 by using land from both Buffalo and Jackson County. George Gale was instrumental in maneuvering the formation of Trempealeau County.

The name, Trempealeau, (pronounced Tremp-a-low) derives from a French phrase for "mountain in the water". Trempealeau Mountain is just that - a bluff totally surrounded by the waters of the Mississippi, the Pine and the Trempealeau River. This island bluff was a well known land mark for early explorers and travelers on the Mississippi.

It's Finally Becoming A Reality

A group of dedicated history buffs have been working to bring our virtual museum to you.  It's been quite a process but we are finally getting there.  We'd love to be able to keep adding more to the site as it becomes available. 

We would like to ask anyone who is willing to share any old photos of people, places and things pertaining to Trempealeau County's past to send them to us.  You can send them via email to history@trempealeaucountymuseum.com. 

If you have any good stories of the past that you would like to share, we'd also like to add those to the website. 

We feel this website will be a great place for our offspring to look back and see what the "olden days" were really like.
