Welcome to Jack's Curios!

Founded in 1995 by Jack Rivers, Jack's Curios is a unique collection of trinkets, odds, and ends collected by Jack during his time living in Doveland, Wisconsin.

Jack's Curios began when Jack retired from his job as a high school teacher in 1995 after losing his wife to cancer. Jack designed the virtual museum as a way to honor Pauline's memory and to preserve the colorful history of Doveland as acquired through its local thrift stores, auctions, and dealings with local residents.

Jack's Curios has grown to include a wide variety of items, including vintage jewelery, toys, and household items.
