The Hoard Historical Museum recognizes that it is on land that has been
occupied by various peoples for over 10,000 years including the Indigenous
nations of the modern Ho-Chunk and Potawatomi nations and the ancient
Oneota, Woodland, and Paleolithic peoples. Our history runs deep and should
be shared to remember all those who have called this area "home."
