Our mission is to preserve and disseminate materials related to the history of Wauwatosa.
In 1987, the Wauwatosa Historical Society purchased a stately Victorian house, a coach house, and 1,5 acres of gardens and grounds. The Kneeland-Walker House is now being used for various educational programs, preservation work, archival storage, artifact displays, and community events. This treasure stands as one of Wauwatosa's greatest community assets.
