New History Center
Community Engagement

Wisconsin’s new world-class history center will be a result of extensive community engagement seeking diverse perspectives from across the state.
The Wisconsin Historical Society heard from more than 5,500 community members as part of the Share Your Voice series that traveled Wisconsin in 2018-2019, and we continue to engage residents through robust outreach efforts including public presentations, a Native Nations Council, community consultations, classroom sessions, donor meetings and more.
History in the Making
Thank you for joining us virtually as we broke ground on the new state-of-the-art Wisconsin History Center—a place where communities connect, stories flourish, and lives are enriched across all 72 counties and beyond.
