Opened in 2012 on the University of Wisconsin–Platteville campus in Platteville, Wisconsin, this museum is devoted to the Isle of Man and the heritage of Manx immigrants who came to the United States. Its focus connects the culture of the island in the Irish Sea between Ireland and Britain with the history of Manx communities in North America. By uniting those subjects, it serves both as a cultural institution and as an immigration-heritage institution, making it a distinctive site for Manx history in the United States.
