FEATURE EXHBIITION
ONLINE & ONSITE Exhibit
MARCH 2021 –
The City of Waukesha has many stories to tell. From an Italian nonna’s ravioli pot to a Tuskegee Airman’s service record, the proposed History of Waukesha in 100 Objects will showcase artifacts, documents, photographs, and ephemera.
Just as every person has a history to tell, collections of the WCHSM contain countless artifacts and archival materials that tell the cultural, social, economic, and political moments that join together to tell the history of the City of Waukesha. The 100 Objects of 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 city’s 125th Anniversary.
