Sauk City Historic Park
The Sauk City Historic Preservation Committee has established a Historic Park on Water Street in the 600 block of downtown Sauk City. The park consists of a one-room schoolhouse, one of the earliest Sauk City shops—The Boots & Shoes—and the Hahn House. The Hahn House was home to the Hahn family in 1857 and still sits on its original location. It is unique in that it faced what was then the community’s two highways—the Wisconsin River on the lower level, where the family would have kept their canoes and boats, and Water Street on the upper level. Visitors can tour the buildings and Old Time Candy Shoppe on Saturday afternoons in the summer. To learn more, visit here.
Sauk Prairie Area Historical Society
The home of the Sauk Prairie Area Historical Society is located in the Tripp Memorial Museum in downtown Prairie du Sac. The museum contains a substantial archive of photographs and local historical information, as well as one of the state’s largest collections of mounted birds. Rotating exhibits bring to life the story of Sauk Prairie. The museum is open year-round Wednesdays through Saturdays, 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m., and during special weekend and evening events, such as their annual Christmas of Yesteryear. The Society maintains two historic country churches that are available for gatherings and weddings. To learn more, visit www.saukprairiehistory.org. |
