Since there are a lot of musicians and guitarists in the Buell community this might be an interesting waypoint for those in the area during Homecoming. The Discovery Museum is downtown, close to the waterfront and fairly close to the Summerfest grounds.

Guitar wiz sees no effect on Waukesha museum

The Wizard of Waukesha is taking his act to Milwaukee.
After waiting several years for a Waukesha museum to produce an exhibit about his life and career, music legend Les Paul is partnering with Discovery World in Milwaukee for an exhibit opening this summer.
The Waukesha native said the attraction known as "Les Paul's House of Sound," which is being announced today, would not conflict with the exhibit still under development in Waukesha.
But he called downtown Milwaukee's interactive science museum "a perfect place" for an exhibit highlighting his innovations in music and recording. He has agreed to lend Discovery World musical instruments and other artifacts from his personal collection.

I consider it my Holy Grail to see Les Paul one day. Just to be in his presence and hear him play would be a thrill beyond words...
