"Walk down the streets of time in Marshfield." - Marshfield Heritage Museum
T he exhibits at the Marshfield Heritage Museum periodically change, with each one focusing on a different historical topic as it relates to Marshfield. Due to the scope and magnitude of each exhibit, displays are occasionally retired from public viewing to make room for the new ones. In the future, we will be expanding to include the history of Marshfield in a community museum. This will take place immediately after the new library is constructed. Featured on this page are the exhibits that are no longer on display.
