The Main Museum Building serves as the center of the organization. Start your visit here, with the main entrance and Museum store. The building houses both long-term and temporary exhibitions of local, regional, and national interest, in addition to hosting many of the Museum’s public programs. It also includes classroom space, staff offices, and collection storage areas.

Easily visible from a distance, the stately David Taylor House is the original building constructed on the property. Listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Wisconsin Register of Historic Places, the Italianate two-story brick home was originally built in the early 1850s. Sheboygan County purchased the house and surrounding property in 1905 from the Taylor estate. Beginning in 1948, the Sheboygan County Historical Society entered into a long-term lease agreement with Sheboygan County to utilize the Taylor House as a museum. Following the 1997 addition of the Main Museum Building to the campus, the Taylor House primarily features artifacts reminiscent of the time the Taylor House served as a family home.

Originally located on property just across Erie Avenue, the Schuchardt Barn was moved to the Museum grounds in 1982. Last owned and donated by the Lester Schuchardt family, the barn was dedicated in 1984 following several years of fundraising and restoration work. The frame-style barn features numerous examples of tenon and wooden peg joinery, popular in late 19th century Wisconsin barns. A wood stave silo was added immediately to the south of the barn in 1992. Both highlight the varied history of  agriculture in Sheboygan County.
