2.      Provide structured public access to historic resources through a research facility, museum exhibits and traveling displays.

3.      Preserve and maintain SCHS properties including two significant historic buildings and three Native American heritage sites, including the only man-shaped effigy mound in existence.

4.      Teach citizens and visitors to Sauk county respect and appreciation for the varied lives of people who have gone before us—both in recent times

     and in pre-historic cultures, and how they shaped our world.

5.      Promote understanding of Sauk County’s unique history and culture, including nationally important people, events, and landmarks.

6.      Teach children how to use first hand historic documents to make observations about people and events and engage them around history with interactive, hands on displays.
