On-Line – History of Waukesha in 100 Objects

Explore the Exhibit Online

While the physical exhibit is closed you can still explore the history of Waukesha through 100 objects on-line.

The City of Waukesha has many stories to tell.
The History of Waukesha in 100 Objects draws on the collections of the WCHSM  that tell the social, economic, and political moments that join together to tell the history of the City of Waukesha. The 100 objects in the exhibit are from both the collections of the Waukesha County Historical Society & Museum and on loan from community members and organizations.

The Waukesha County Historical Society & Museum is a proud community partner of the City of Waukesha in celebration of the 125th Anniversary.
