Our Community Supporters
Thank you to our Business Partners! With their support, we continue to offer monthly programming, create new exhibits and continue restoration and maintenance at our four historic buildings, and work actively with the community to preserve the history of the Waupaca area. As a member of the Waupaca Historical Society, we encourage you to patronize these local businesses!

Thank you for donating to the Waupaca Historical Society and helping us preserve Waupaca and Chain O'Lakes history!
Come visit us year-round at the Holly Center at 321 S. Main Street during our open hours on
Wednesday through Friday,
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.!
