RHINELANDER SCHOOL MUSEUM -- This building was originally located in the Town of Newbold and was known as the Newhaus School - it was later renamed the Doyle School. Later it was moved to the Town of Pine Lake and called Pine Lake School #2. After its use in Pine Lake it stood vacant for several years, then brought to Pioneer Park in 1975 for restoration. It was opened to the public in July 1978. 

LOGGING MUSEUM -- These buildings represent a true-to-life replica of a lumber camp of the 1870's, consisting of a bunkhouse, a cook shanty, and a blacksmith shop. It is the most complete display of its kind in the area, housing a collection of artifacts pertaining to the early logger: all kinds of tools and equipment, including peavies, pike poles, cant hooks, and cross-cut saws, as well as an extensive file of photographs covering the life and work of the old time logger. 

SOUVENIR SHOP -- The museum's souvenir shop features Northwoods items, plus pictures and books about the North Country, small Hodags, T-shirts, and picture postcards. The walls of the gift shop include many pictures of early logging, and a painting of Rhinelander's main street in 1892. 

SOO LINE DEPOT -- The depot was built in 1892 by the Soo Line RR, and remained in constant railroad service until 1989. Donated to the City of Rhinelander by the Wisconsin Central Ltd. RR, it was moved to its present location in 1990, from its original position in the Soo Line yards about a mile west and north of the park. Remodeled numerous times during its 97 years of service, the depot has now been restored to its orginal design and paint scheme. 

MODEL RAILROAD DISPLAY -- The model railroad display is located in the basement under the depot. It is a representation of the prototype railroads operating in Rhinelander in the 1920's - 1940's. While some construction license had to be taken because of space constraints, the layout is nonetheless a very reasonable and accurate representation of Soo Line, C&NW, and thunder Lake operation in Rhinelander during that period. 

OUTDOORS DISPLAY -- On the museum grounds, visitors will see a variety of early logging equipment, including Thunder Lake's No. 5 narrow gauge locomotive, President Jack Mylrea's private car, one of the few steam-powered snow snakes used to hauls sleds of logs over iced highways, a turn table, Big Wheels to haul logs to stream or rails, and a road icer.
