Hi Kathy, I am with the Brown County Historical Society in Green Bay (
confusing title ,we are not a County Organization )and we do not get any
county or city funding. In fact the Historic House that we operate was
at one time owned by the County Museum and they did not feel it was in
their mission to support it so the Brown County Historical Society
purchased it in 1985. ( We should have held out for some support)
I hope you get the City to support your Society

Subject: Help from the city
Hello,
I am wondering if any of your organizations receive help from the city
where you are located and if so, what kind of help or how many dollars.
I will be attending our city council meeting to ask for some assistance
and would like to have information on what other Wisconsin towns and
cities do to support their local historical societies. Bringing facts to
this meeting would give me some ammunition!
Thanks everyone!
Kathy
Secretary, Westby Area Historical Society
