New London Public Museum ribbon cutting on expansion is Nov. 10 and so, the adventure begins

The New London Public Museum reopens on Tuesday, November 10, 2026 with a ribbon cutting at noon. The Museum personnel are excited to unveil the Possibilities Phase of the museum expansion. This phase is when they try new things and invite the community to co-create their museum. So much has changed! Including the new “We Can…Build Center,” an expanded space for kids to see, do and discover. We’re offering a special sneak peek of this space before the ribbon cutting on Tuesday, November 10 from 10-12 for kids ages 2-4 with their adults.
One thing that hasn’t changed is that admission to the museum is still free. All are welcome 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday and 10 a.m.-1 p.m. on Saturday. Everyone is invited to explore the new exhibits, on two floors, and discover something new. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the world around us and relax in the welcoming atmosphere at the muse.
November is full of new programs. In the “We Can…Build Center,” there are special activities for kids ages 2-4 with adults, ages 5+, and family time. The museum is joining forces with Waupaca Historical Society to commemorate the 250th Anniversary of the U.S. on Thursday, November 12 with a presentation (and treats) at the Holly Center looking at the military history of the Rufus King family. Admission is free and the presentation begins at 6 p.m. The Holly Center is located at 321 S. Main Street, Waupaca.
