Local History - Historic Preservation Conference
2020 Annual Conference
Fourteenth Annual Local History and Historic Preservation Conference
We continue to develop a full program for the Local History and Historic Preservation conference at the Central Wisconsin Convention Center in Rothschild on October 29-31 and still plan for registration to open in July. As a state agency, the Wisconsin Historical Society will monitor and follow any emergency orders or guidance issued by the State of Wisconsin as we plan this event. The latest conference updates and decisions will be posted on this page and on Wisconsin Historical Society social media as they happen. If you have any questions about the conference, please contact us at lhhpconference@wisconsinhistory.org.
