Read about the latest segment in the Wisconsin Historical Society's Wisconsin Hometown Stories partnership with Wisconsin Public Television, Hometown Stories: La Crosse.

Research and Collections

The archaeology programs of the Society conduct archaeological investigations throughout the state of Wisconsin.

Research focuses on sites and artifacts left by all peoples who have lived in this area. These peoples include several Native American Tribes and later immigrants. As a consequence of the long human history, the types of archaeological sites discovered vary greatly; from Native American campsites and villages to farms, lumber camps, and rural ghost towns.
