Brigadoon Winery
Everyone is searching for a Brigadoon. Well, we found our little bit of heaven in North Central Wisconsin, located in an area largely populated by people of Finnish descent. They found here the natural beauty of their native land, rich with an abundance of wildflowers and fruit. We began with a small vineyard and apple orchard which heralded the production of our homemade jams and wine jelly. We are now expanding our vineyard to four winemaking varieties. Come try our wines, browse through our gift shop and enjoy our Brigadoon.

Jump River Valley Historical Museum
The Jump River Town Hall Museum in Catawba, run by the Jump River Historical Society, allows one to take a step back in time. Items on display tell the story of Price County from our origin in 1879.
The Jump River Valley Historical Society was formed in 1993 to save the historic Catawba Town Hall from demolition. The society wished to have the hall serve the community again.
The museum's upper floor offers exhibits on homemaking, schooling, logging, farming, businesses and other aspects of life dating back to the late 1800's. A quilt made by the first Price County Homemakers club and a unique stage curtain of 1950 Kennan business advertisements are featured. "Homespun Musicians", the history of Prentice and a rural schoolroom are included. The lower floor is being prepared for more displays and storage. The building is handicap accessible.
You are invited to the annual "All Schools Reunion" the second Saturday of June with a potluck noon meal and time to reminisce.
The museum is open June through August on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of the month, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
Tours are available by appointment during summer months. There is no admission charged. For appointments, write JRVHS, P.O. Box 104, Catawba, WI 54515 or call 715-339-2642, 474-6775 or 474-3463.
