Washington County Historical Society, Inc.
The Society traces its roots to the winter of 1873-74 when the Old Setters’ Club was established at the Washington House in West Bend, Wisconsin. Over the last century our collections have grown to number thousands of artifacts, photographs, and documents housed in three unique museums and one historic site.
The Washington County Historical society operates three distinct campuses that tell the unique history of Washington County. Over 30,000 artifacts are part of the varied collections that tell the story of a community that harmoniously blended rural living and the industrial age.
Throughout the year, the Washington County Historical Society offers a wide range of family orientated programs.
