I took my Dad here while he was visiting from out of state to see the Les Paul exhibit. He has been a Les fan his entire life. Great exhibit and the young lady who was on staff was really sweet and helpful.

Les Paul exhibit is a small self contained part of the Waukesha County Museum.It will take you 10 minutes at the most to take a look to the whole room. If you are a Les Paul enthusiast dont expect too much or you will be disappointed.

I visited in December 2018. Warm and friendly staff. They do what they can with what they have. Small but interesting exhibits. Nothing negative to say.

Im so happy to finally have visited Les Pauls permanent exhibition at the Waukesha County Historical Society and Museum coming all the way from NYC. Although a small gallery it is a very significant tribute from his birthplace of Waukesha, WI to a great guitarist, innovator and inventor and one can feel his presence throughout the different exhibits. I recommend and encourage history lover(s), admirers and musicians, as I am, to visit this significant and adjacent exhibitions when traveling through the Midwest.

A treasure of Waukesha that not enough people see. Volunteers will research your family history, the history of a business or building, or other historical information. There is now a gorgeous event space designed by Chef Jack of Waukesha thats definitely worth consideration.

It was a great experience, we had 3 groups of kids come into the Les Paul exhibit we played our hamonicas for them. Les first played the harmonica. Was a great time for all.

Im a big fan of Les Paul so that was the draw for me. A small but lovely journey through his endeavors as a innovator and incredible musician. Dont miss it.

2 very nice but small exhibits. Les Paul and one other. $7.50 is too much for just 2 exhibits and a postage stamp sized gift shop . Loved the Les Paul exhibit though, very complete history of his life.

Currently undergoing renovation, the only exhibits that were available are the Les Paul and the summer of 2018 exhibition “Making Faces” featuring caricatures by artist John Kascht. Both were good, and I found the artist notes by Mr. Kascht very interesting as he described the process by which he creates a caricature. Worth a look, however I was expecting more, especially more about Waukesha county itself. Will be worth visiting in the future as renovations are completed.

The Led Paul exhibit is very informative. I hope the museum grows. It seems very small now.

The Les Paul exhibit is most of what youll enjoy. Most of the rest is haphazardly assembled. Worth a look.

A truly great museum in the midst of major renovations within an historic former courthouse and jail, right in the heart of downtown Waukesha!
