Celebrate Wisconsin Places and Spaces
May is Historic Preservation and Archaeology Month, a time to showcase Wisconsin's diverse and unique heritage. In communities all over Wisconsin, local historical societies, museums, public libraries and other institutions use this month-long celebration to highlight the important role historic preservation plays in protecting our state's past. The theme for this year's celebration is "Sustain America — Vision, Economics and Preservation," and a number of events planned statewide will provide everyone with an opportunity to explore Wisconsin's history in new ways. From a native plant walk in Horicon and film clips of Old De Pere to walking tours of various Indian mound sites, there is sure to be something for everyone.
Historic preservation celebrates the role of history in our everyday lives by calling attention to the contributions many people have made in helping to preserve the places and spaces that have shaped Wisconsin's past. Learn more about Wisconsin's archaeological, architectural and historical legacy from the Society's Historic Preservation Office.
