More than a Wisconsin Historical Museum

Connecting the Past with the Present
The Tower Heritage Center (TTHC) is home to the Washington County Historical Society, a nonprofit organization that believes in forging meaningful connections across generations to Washington County’s hard-working legacy. And it has been our mission in some form since 1875!
We are passionate about drawing the connections between the past and present, in our region and beyond while staying true to our roots as THE source of information about many bygone eras. Today, we are developing new and innovative ways to reach folks from all walks of life while still preserving and educating about our larger community’s unique heritage. This direction is the focus of the 5-Year ReConnect, our biggest growth initiative in our history.
In our digital world, we’re connected everywhere – yet disconnected from how history defines us.
We seek to uncover compelling stories and create meaningful experiences that define and unify. Here are a few ways we tell our stories:
- Preservation Consulting
- Immersive Sites
- Research Services
- Programs & Events
- Curated Content
We invite everyone to reach out about our efforts and get to know our impact within the community.
