The History Museum at the Castle stands in downtown Appleton, Wisconsin, across College Avenue from Lawrence University, housed in a stone structure built in 1985 and designed in the Tudor Revival style. Originally constructed as a Masonic Temple, the building now serves as a local history museum operated by the Outagamie County Historical Society. Known previously as both The Outagamie Museum and The Houdini Historic Center, the museum earned the 2018 National Medal for Museum and Library Service, the highest honor awarded to museums and libraries in the United States. Listed in both the Wisconsin State Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places, the building represents a significant cultural institution in the region.
