Sauk County Historical
Society History Center

The SCHS History Center was acquired by the Society in 2007. The former office building of the Island Woolen Mill is currently being renovated. New windows were installed in 2007 along with landscaping. The main floor is currently under renovation in anticipation of it being opened to the public as funding permits. The second floor is reserved for storage, and the lower floor will eventually be renovated for artifact display.
