The Chippewa County Historical Society preserves artifacts, images and local history. Our museum is open to the public most Tuesdays and fourth Saturdays of the month. See "About" & Gen. Info. below for more details.
The Chippewa County Historical Society (CCHS) and Chippewa County Genealogical Society (CCGS) share a library located in The Area History Center, in the former convent building at 123 Allen Street, which is owned by the Notre Dame Parish. A 50 room museum is also operated by the CCHS at this location.
To collect, preserve, interpret and share the rich history of Chippewa County
Artifacts are accepted and preserved. A quarterly newsletter is published and more that 50 county-wide historic markers were created and are maintained. The Past Passed Here, an educational re-enactment event, is held the week prior to Mother's Day in Allen Park, located at the confluence of the Chippewa River and Duncan Creek in downtown Chippewa Falls, WI. More than 600 public and private school fourth grade students spend a day experiencing life during the 1700, 1800 and early 1900s.
