Mission Statement

Description
The Waupaca Historical Society was organized on April 27, 1953. In 1955 the Waupaca Historical Society affiliated with the State of Wisconsin Historical society and was incorporated under Wisconsin state law. The Waupaca Historical Society purchased the historic Hutchinson House in 1956, moved it to South Park, and opened it as a public museum in 1957. In 2001, Waupaca's historic 1914 Carnegie Library Building was purchased and renamed the Holly History and Genealogy Center. It now serves as the headquarters of the Waupaca Historical Society and provides the community with a history library and genealogy research facility and a community meeting room. In 2004, the Society purchased the Waupaca Railroad Depot from the Canadian National Railway. Depot restoration
began immediately and is ongoing.
The Waupaca Historical society is actively involved with the following projects:
Maintaining and improving our four historic buildings, including preserving and restoring the Railroad Depot
Developing and offering historical programs on a monthly basis
Creating rotating education exhibits at the Holly History and Genealogy Center
Actively collecting and cataloguing historical documents and artifacts of significance to the Waupaca area
Supporting genealogical and local historical research
