175 Campaign
History is a story with many voices, always growing and evolving—a story we tell together.
Throughout time and place, humans have looked to the past to inspire the future. We study the stories of those who came before us to define who we are today, and who we want to become tomorrow. We have a conversation with our past to build a better future. There are countless chapters in this story — achievements that inspire us to be better, and tragedies that remind us not to go down the wrong path. Follow along as we share fascinating and diverse stories of people and places from Wisconsin history.
In 2021, the Wisconsin Historical Society marks its 175th year of collecting, preserving, and sharing history. Join us in celebrating Wisconsin visionaries, changemakers, and storytellers. We hope you find these stories illuminating, powerful, and inspiring.

Museums, historic sites, and other cultural organizations can share women's history through special programs, tours, and other storytelling formats. From a broad view of new directions for interpretation at museums and historic sites, to strategies for virtual engagement, the panelists will share examples of innovative programming and best practices.
