Copper Culture State Park is a 48-acre (19 ha) Wisconsin state park in Oconto. The park contains a burial ground used by the Old Copper Culture between 5,000 and 6,000 years ago. Artifacts and photographs from excavations here are displayed on the park grounds in the Charles Werrenbroeck Museum, a 1924 farmhouse. The park is managed by a non-profit organization rather than the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Visitors do not require a state park pass at this site, but are encouraged to make a donation at the museum.
