State Trophy Comes Home



November 2, 1959, Oshkosh Daily Northwestern

The Menasha Historical Society took the prize in 1959 as the best historical society in Wisconsin. 
Only historical societies affiliated with the Wisconsin Historical Society can be nominated for the award.  A society that has previously received the trophy is not eligible to be nominated again for a period of 25 years following its selection to receive the trophy.  It's so good to see so much effort across the state towards educating and enriching the public with local istory.
