Iola Historical Society
A few years ago our society had a joint meeting with other societies from Waupaca County. We did have a fruitful meeting, although it was a small group. Never did another one, although that may change in 2018.
We did publish and distrubuted a pamphlet called "Passport To History" which had a panel for each historical society with pics, descriptions, locations, hours, etc. On the back outside panel was a "passport" that would get stamped when a person visited one of the historical societies involved. When it was filled up, the visitor would mail it in and was included in a drawing. The winner was a person from Kaukauna, proving the effort drew in people from outside our county.
We're working on updating the pamphlet for 2018 and getting more joint participation from our other county historical societies.
