With a workforce described as a small to midsize team, the museum engages its audience by presenting surprising and entertaining narratives that connect people to place and history, complementing the larger national historical narrative. The organization engages in activities such as hosting events and partnerships, including collaborations with other regional museums, to broaden its program offerings and community engagement. A recent development noted in local coverage includes a partnership involving the museum and other regional institutions to present historical events and activities in the Chippewa Valley.
