Historic Preservation and Archaeology Month
The Wisconsin Historical Society encourages communities throughout Wisconsin to begin planning now for events and activities to celebrate Historic Preservation and Archaeology Month this coming May. During this monthlong celebration many local and regional events are planned to promote historic and prehistoric places for the purposes of instilling community pride, promoting heritage tourism, and showcasing the social and economic benefits of historic preservation.
Wisconsin's Historic Preservation and Archaeology Month offers limitless possibilities to highlight local historic and archaeological landmarks. Activities and events eligible for inclusion in Historic Preservation and Archaeology Month include everything from walking tours, a historic building open house and how-to workshops, to fundraising kickoffs, historic marker dedications, and op-ed pieces on historic preservation in the local newspaper.
Do not miss the opportunity to join in this year's celebration! We can suggest more ideas for planning your event, but your community's special historic places will likely inspire unique ways to celebrate. If your community is not holding an event but would like to learn more about historic preservation, you can also schedule our free, 30-minute presentation, "Understanding Historic Preservation," for your community or organization.
To schedule a free presentation or to submit your Historic Preservation and Archaeology Month event to our event calendar, please contact us at the Wisconsin Historical Society, 816 State Street, Madison, WI 53706, by telephone at 608-264-6493 or via email. You can also submit events using our online form.
