Summary

• The sign on the boulder at the entrance to the museum reads: "Wonderland Museum. The grounds of the Museum are separated from other parts of the camp by a real old time rail fence, the kind Abraham Lincoln, very probably, split rails for in the early days of his life. The Museum building is well filled with a pleasing collection of relics, many of them suggestive of the life of Will Rogers, who so generously gave financially for the establishing of this camp. A part of the camp bears the name "Shagbark." The museum building was located in the Salvation Army Camp on the shore of Camp Lake, Kenosha County, Wisconsin.
