Unforgettable Doesn’t Just Happen
A new history center is the Wisconsin Historical Society’s biggest undertaking ever. To make it a reality, we need the support of bold, visionary, engaged people who believe in the power of history to make a difference. We’re counting on the support of people who understand the value of investing in transformational projects to benefit our past, present and future.
