The new Chippewa Area History Center is home to the Chippewa County Historical Society, The Past Passed Here, and the Chippewa County Genealogical Society.  The three groups work together to preserve local history and make it available to the public.

The Chippewa County (WI) Historical Society was established in 1969 by an enthusiastic group of volunteers who were committed to ensuring that Chippewa County’s rich and colorful history would not be forgotten.

Each year in May, the Chippewa County Historical Society hosts The Past Passed Here, an educational and FUN experience for all.  Learn how people in the Chippewa Valley lived in the late 1700s and early 1800s.  Adults and children alike will enjoy this step back in time.

The Chippewa County (WI) Genealogical Society was established in 1980 to provide education and assistance to those who are tracing their family roots; to collect and maintain genealogical and historical materials; and to provide access to all materials and educational programs for members and the general public.
