Making the Cultural & History Center a Reality
We are presently raising money for the purchase of land in downtown Mt. Horeb in which to situate the Cultural & History Center. We are depending on a broad range of support, starting right here at home. If you are proud of where you live and want others to learn about you, your cultural offerings, or the rich history of southwestern Dane County, then look below for exciting ways to contribute. If you have left the area and have fond memories you wish to see preserved, we need you as well. If you are new to the area and want to meet dynamic and fun people, then welcome aboard! The following are ways you can help:

Over 32 years the donors and volunteers of the Mt. Horeb Area Historical Society have accomplished much, building an impressive Archive and Museum, around which an active and involved educational community has grown. With wide support, we can realize a Cultural & History Center as well.
