Research

Are you working on a family tree? Researching your home? Curious and want to dig deeper into a local story? Perhaps we can help.

The museum staff can conduct research, or you can come to the museum by appointment and conduct research yourself. Appointment times will depend on staff availability. The museum archivist will help you locate the information you’re looking for and provide copy services.

Contact the archivist with any questions at registrar@dunnhistory.org or 715-232-8685.
