We invite you to join the growing number of SCHS members who delight in learning more about Sauk County's extensive and fascinating past. Our members are engaged in Sauk County's history through a variety of exhibits, programs, and special events, all sharing in the unique tales of the past!
Membership is currently around 600 individuals, couples and families from Sauk County and many states of the Union including Alaska and Hawaii.
The society is facilitated by a twelve member Board of Directors who meet once a month to discuss policy, goals, and events and see to their implementation. The Society also has a full time staff which includes an executive director, curator and staff assistant.
The society currently holds a summer picnic, fall banquet & business meeting. Other events include a biennial Parade of Historic Homes in Baraboo. Historic Preservation Awards are also given out each year at the fall meeting for a highlighted community in the county. An annual Wm Canfield award is given to someone who demonstrates a love of history and its preservation. Workshops and seminars are also occasionally given.
