Current Projects
In addition to our daily operations, there are also several special projects that you can support with an additional gift. You can make one or more of these projects a success with a generous contribution.

Hilkrest School and Tainter Playhouse Improvements

Your contribution to this project will allow us to improve the exhibits, and restore the Hilkrest one-room school and Tainter Playhouse, recently moved to our Wakanda Park campus from the Dunn Co. Fairgrounds. These exhibits will enhance our school tours and provide our other visitors opportunities to see the exhibits beyond the county fair dates. An additional $20,000 is needed to complete the project.

Heritage Partners
The Dunn County Historical Society is seeking "Heritage Partners" to join us in our mission by supporting the services we provide to the area. Learn more here.
