About Buffalo Grove Park District Raupp Museum

The Raupp Museum preserves Buffalo Grove's heritage through two permanent gallery spaces exploring the community's history. Visitors sit on the porch of an 1890s farmhouse, milk a replica dairy cow, operate a vintage typewriter, and explore an old-fashioned general store. The museum features changing exhibit spaces alongside its permanent collections and offers educational programs for area residents. School groups participate in activities like archaeology digs and nature classroom sessions. The museum serves families, students, and anyone interested in learning about local history through hands-on experiences and artifact displays. Located in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, the Raupp Museum provides free admission. Hours vary by day, with the museum open Monday through Thursday mornings and afternoons, and Sunday afternoons.
