Dedicated to documenting the history and telling the cultural and
family stories of the area, this site is sponsored by the Wisconsin Local History Network.
Its goal is to record and make available the county's historical materials for the
Internet community. In so doing, it also hopes to make more visible the critical work of
the county's historical societies in preserving the heritage of past and present
generations of county residents:
