Cresco

Cresco appeals to visitors with several distinct interests: the Toy Soldier Museum displays more than 35,000 figures, while the Cresco Station Museum houses exhibits, artifacts, and research materials from the Barrett Township area. Brodhead Creek also flows through Cresco, offering opportunities for trout fishing and scenic views. When planning your stay, you can consider whether collections, local museum topics, or the creek should be your focus.

Museums with Different Focuses

The more than 35,000 figures give the Toy Soldier Museum a distinctive theme. Visitors interested in toy soldiers and figures will find an extensive collection here as a specific reason to visit the museum. The size of the collection also makes Cresco interesting to travelers who enjoy pursuing a clearly defined theme on an outing rather than spending the day focused solely on outdoor activities.

The Cresco Station Museum offers a different perspective. Its holdings include exhibits, artifacts, and research materials from the Barrett Township area. This brings together different types of locally relevant material: exhibits, tangible objects, and research materials. If you are more interested in topics from the surrounding area than in a collection of figures, the museum offers a suitable counterpoint. You can distinguish between the two museums based on your personal interests without confusing their areas of focus.

Art and Music Events at the Cresco Station Museum

The Cresco Station Museum hosts art shows on the second Sunday of each month from 1 to 4 p.m. Music programs also take place on the fourth Sunday from 1 to 4 p.m., from June through September. Art and music are therefore scheduled on different Sundays, so the date matters when planning your trip. If you would like to include one of these programs in your stay, you can plan your travel around the relevant Sunday. Alongside the collections and museum topics, a specific cultural event can thus become another possible focus.

Brodhead Creek and Nature Interests

Brodhead Creek flows through Cresco and offers opportunities for trout fishing and scenic views. It is part of the Delaware River watershed. The creek therefore adds a nature-focused option to the museum topics: fishing and scenery take center stage here, rather than a collection or cultural program. This distinction makes it easier to plan your activities. You can consider whether you would rather make time during your stay for a museum, one of the cultural events listed above, or fishing and views along the creek.
