Every year we hold our annual meeting at the Morgan House. This is a great opportunity to turn out to hear about the society’s activities over the past year, including the extensive conservation work, events, and hear from and elect leadership.
Our mission is to unravel history by breathing life into forgotten tales, collecting and sharing stories and artifacts that define our community, and inviting community members to actively participate in preserving the rich history of our area. We aim to serve Winnebago County and surrounding areas by researching, preserving, and communicating the history of our region.
