Very similar to the Driftless Area Heritage Group that the Westby Area
Historical Society mentioned, the various historical organizations in the
Greater La Crosse Area meet 4-6 times a year to share events and ideas and
discuss any issues or concerns our individual organizations are facing. We
are informally run without officers, etc. and don't have an official name,
but we have a lot of good discussion. It's been a good way to network and
help each other out. We also try to find projects that we can work on
together since we serve similar audiences in the area.
We typically meet the last Monday of March, June, September, and November
over supper, and each organization takes turns hosting. The group has
grown over the last couple of years to now include: Holmen Area Historical
Society, Onalaska Area Historical Society, Bangor & Area Historical
Society, West Salem Historical Society, La Crosse County Historical
Society, Garden of Eden Preservation Society/A. A. Arnold House, Ridge
History Park, Monroe County Local History Room & Museum, Monroe County
Historical Society, and Tomah Area Historical Society.
