Pope & Young Club / St. Charles Museum of Bowhunting A Showcase of Bowhunting's Evolution
In the rolling hills and farmland of southeastern Minnesota, just minutes off of Interstate 90, lies the singular crowning testimony to North America's rich bowhunting heritage---a place to learn about bowhunting's history, a place to appreciate bowhunting's "rediscovery", a place to understand bowhunting's place in wildlife conservation and in our culture.
WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF PIONEER BOWHUNTERS
A maze of exhibits lead visitors through the chronological story of bowhunting's evolution in North America over the last 150 years. Select artifacts behind glass, descriptive storyboards and dramatic dioramas chart the events that shaped bowhunting's evolution. The dioramas feature Ishi (the last truly primitive Indian in North America), Dr. Saxton Pope, Arthur Young, Fred Bear and Glenn St. Charles.

Among the highlights of the collection of artifacts are:
