The Westby Area Historical Society is part of the Driftless Area Heritage
Group. In this group are officers and board members from: the Vernon
County Historical Society, History Alive Project, Inc., the Kickapoo Valley
Reserve, the Hillsboro Historical Society, the Readstown Historical
Society, Norskedalen, Cheyenne Valley Group, Country Coon Prairie Church
Preservation. We meet twice a year, the first Wednesdays of April and
October, for a potluck luncheon and discussion. The location is rotated so
that each group hosts every so often. We discuss our event successes,
things we wish we had done better, upcoming events and activities, how we
can promote history and tourism in our area, collaboration ideas, how to
solve problems, etc. Each group presents a brief narrative of their
organization and their mission. DAHG meets as a support group to exchange
ideas, help our organizations trouble-shoot and brain-storm. The group is
very loosely organized. We DO NOT have: officers; an agenda; other
meetings, committees or focus groups.
Those of us who are involved believe that this group is very worthwhile and
gives us motivation and ideas to take back to the membership.
If you would like to know more, please contact me. I hope that you get
other incites about DAHG from others who are involved.
