The Waupun Historical Society, located at 22 S. Madison Street, is housed in
the former Carnegie
Library. The building, with a cornerstone dated 1904, is listed
on the National Register of Historic Places. From 1910-20, one
of the basement rooms was used as a Museum of Waupun Pioneer
Days. As the library expanded this museum was dismantled and
went into storage. The Waupun Historical Society, Inc. was
incorporated on May 28, 1957. Waupun built a new city library in
the early 1970's and the Carnegie Library building was vacated.
It was used as the Central Office for the school system for a
brief time. The city leased the Carnegie Library to the Waupun
Historical Society on October 9, 1971. The Historical Society
moved into the building and adopted the name, Waupun Heritage
Museum. The Historical Society and the City continue to have an
excellent relationship and the lease continues.
The museum houses a large collection of materials related to
Clarence Addison Shaler, the prison, the Grange, Waupun’s Dutch
Heritage, and families that have lived in Waupun. On the grounds
in front of the building is one of Mr. Shaler’s statues, "The
Citadel."
The museum is open the first and third
Sunday of each month from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. For
