Each year seems to bring more offerings and activities to the Local History and Historic Preservation Annual Conference. This year will be no exception.

Enriching workshops and activities

The 2009 conference at the Plaza Hotel and Suites in Wausau will feature a total of 24 sessions, eight hands-on workshops, Friday evening activities, and two keynote addresses. A variety of topics and presenters will offer ideas and resources for museums, local societies, preservation groups and others engaged in preserving local history.

Invaluable networking opportunites

Networking with others from around the state is an invaluable part of the conference, and you'll find several opportunities for that this year.

Fun and educational tours

Optional Friday evening activities include a reception at the recently renovated Yawkey House and a walking tour in the Andrew Warren Historic District. Saturday morning you can join colleagues for topic-specific discussions at the coffee-and-conversation tables.

Plan to attend: Oct 9-10

With so many offerings to choose from, we encourage you to make plans now to attend. Look for more information soon in your mailbox. Updates will also be posted on this page.
