The Chudnow Museum of Yesteryear was started by Avrum M. Chudnow in 1991. The museum is housed in an 1869 residence on 839 North 11th Street Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. This house was formerly a clinic and home of Dr. Joseph J. Eisenberg. Mr. Chudnow bought this house in 1966 and housed his law office and management company in it. This house also held his extensive collection of artifacts from the late 1800s through 1970 which today make up the exhibits of the museum.
Mr. Chudnow inherited his interest in collecting from his father who was a junk and scrap peddler. When his grandparents came to the United States they began their lives in America with very little and worked hard to make a life. That hard work continued to be passed down to their grandchild, Abe. Mr. Chudnow worked his way through Marquette University Law School and graduated with a law degree in 1937. Abe worked various jobs throughout his time at Marquette including selling shoes and subscriptions to the Milwaukee Sentinel. During this time, he began collecting different mementos from each job he held, and, when he joined the Army and served with the 519th Port Battalion during World War II, he began adding military memorabilia as well.
