Welcome to the Bowman House Museum, the historic home turned museum located in Bowman Park, Downtown Dells.
This museum was originally a Prairie School House built in 1904 for Abram and Alberta Bowman. The unique prairie style architecture is a must-see while in the dells, this local historic gem offering historic tours and regular viewings with the help of the resident Dells Country Historical Society.
Inside you will find hardwood floors, period furnishings, and various authentic memorabilia, the entire interior having a lived-in quality still.

You will see various themed rooms dedicated to subjects such as Civil War hero General Joseph Bailey, Dells Delton, Native American History, a Blacksmith Shop, Ice Harvesting, H.H. Bennet, and much more.
