Our goal is to clean up our banks & waterways in the MidWest, set free water/wild life that are entangled in fishing line and hooks, find and return lost/stolen property, educate people through our videos, photos, public speaking, art and inspire others to clean up in their communities.

We want our example to cause a RIPPLE EFFECT, which sends out waves of hope, care and a desire to treat our waterways & each other better. 

This exhibit will be featured in our Community Exhibit Space on the first floor across from the Gift Shop. You won't want to miss it!

This event is a celebration of over 100 years of our history, our community, and our Museum, and will be held at the Neville. The one-of-a-kind event will highlight the Museum’s collections and experts, and illustrate how far the Museum has come since its humble beginning in 1915 in the former Kellogg Library basement.

Funds raised from A Night at the Museum will be used to support the Neville Public Museum Foundation, which funds all exhibits and programs at the Museum. Each year the Foundation raises money to support the Museum by paying for in-house and traveling exhibits and exhibit-related expenditures, such as: marketing, artifact purchase and conservation, gallery construction and installation materials, educational gallery handouts and catalogs, audio-visual equipment, and computer hardware and software used in exhibits, exhibit-related programming, and other educational activities.

By sponsoring the 2025 A Night at the Museum, you will not only take an active role in enriching our community, you’ll also have the pleasure of attending the wonderful event we have planned featuring great food, entertainment, and other special guests.

Despite Logan McCutcheon declaring himself a "proud Chicagoan" who is indeed a Bears fan, we have welcomed him into our Green Bay family with open arms.

Having completed his undergraduate degree in Geology, Biology, and French at Macalester College in St. Paul, he recently finished a Master of Science in Paleontology from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. It was near there at the Mammoth Site that helped solidify his love of paleontology as a young child: "Seeing all the interns digging up dozens of skeletons - right in front of me! - was one of the coolest experiences I had."

Following in these excavating interns' storied footsteps, Logan has established himself as our resident paleontologist during countless Dino Drop-Ins over the summer. Posting up in traveling exhibit Darwin & Dinosaurs, he offers up fossils to feel, prehistoric pals to ponder, and fascinating facts for fanatics of all ages. A self-proclaimed "major nerd" he has proven an invaluable asset to our summer line up, and seems ready for the educational role or PhD plans for his future.

The 80th Art Annual exhibit is an all-media, juried exhibition of current artworks produced by artists living in the counties of Northeastern Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.  

This juried art exhibition began in 1942 during the height of World War II. For over three-quarters of a century, many of this region’s most celebrated and talented artists have exhibited their work as part of this Green Bay tradition. 

Women Who Run With Scissors is a group of 15 women artists based in northeastern Wisconsin. They invite all to share their visions and dreams created with fabric, fiber and stitching. Each artist expresses her creativity with original art portraying real or imagined images, drawing the viewer in for a closer look.

Just as our beloved Stompy and his fellow mastodons braved the Ice Age together, you can join the Neville's powerful pack of sustainable donors to make a major impact! By becoming part of The Herd, you commit to a consistent financial contribution in the amount of your choosing on your schedule. Whether that gift comes to us monthly, quarterly, or annually, it becomes instantly strengthened alongside those of fellow sustaining supporters. Collectively you help reinforce the value you find in the Neville's programs, exhibits, and the ongoing preservation of our community's rich history.

Whatever amount you choose is the right amount, so set up your sustainable gift today by reaching out to Foundation Executive Director, Kasha Huntowski today at 920-448-7850. We look forward to thunderous success with The Herd!

It's holiday volunteer round-up time! We are so excited to start planning our favorite traditions, including Bruce the Spruce and the Children Only Shop, neither of which would be possible without a merry team of volunteers.
