/Recently, there has been discussion about transferring ownership of a
local historic site to our city. The city is interested in owning the
site IF our historical society is interested in advising, operating,
managing, overseeing the site. I have been told it is common in
Wisconsin for municipalities to own a site and lease it to a local
historical society for its operation.
We'd like to directly receive copies of lease agreements from historical
societies that operate under this arrangement. We'd also welcome your
suggestions, cautions, problems, and benefits of leasing an historic
site from a municipality.
