"The Madeline Island Museum comprises the original museum and a modern expansion. The original museum is four historic log structures that have been relocated and connected together. It includes the only remaining building of the American Fur Company complex built at La Pointe in 1835, making it the oldest structure on Madeline Island. That building is adjoined to an old barn, the former La Pointe town jail, and the Old Sailor's Home, which had been built as a memorial to a drowned sailor. In 1991 the museum expanded by adding the Capser Center and, in 1995, the connecting Walkway Gallery."

"Located 1½ blocks from the ferry landing on Madeline Island, Lake View School takes visitors back to the days of the one-room schoolhouse. Built in 1904 at the north end of the island, the building was moved to its present location and restored by the Madeline Island Historical Preservation Association. It is filled with authentic furniture, equipment, educational materials and historic photographs."
