"My" Building: The Wisconsin Historical Society


Wisconsin Historical Society building

I selfishly begin with "my" building, the headquarters of the Wisconsin Historical Society. Located at the end of State Street in Madison, this building is among Wisconsin's most opulent Neo-classical buildings. Its beautiful interior holds one of America's most beautiful library reading rooms. Visit us and take in the stunning view from the third floor hallway into the second floor reading room space. While you are here, enjoy our stellar collections of North American and Wisconsin history.
