Join us for this special night as history comes alive! The museum’s collections allow us to tell the stories of Waukesha County – your stories – and preserve our shared heritage for future generations.

Our $15,000 goal will help us purchase archival materials so we can properly save this vital history! Explore the galleries, talk to our dedicated staff and volunteers, and view rarely seen items from our collections. You might even run into some colorful figures from Waukesha’s history!

Dress up in your favorite costume from any era in Waukesha’s past and compete for prizes in our costume contest! It’s fun for all ages!
