From introduction: "On behalf of the Wisconsin Historical Society, it’s my pleasure to invite you to the Ninth Annual Local History and Historic Preservation Conference in Middleton. The largest gathering of its kind in the state, the Annual Conference is an exciting venue to gather with professionals and volunteers from local history and preservation groups from across Wisconsin and beyond. In 2015, we are pleased to offer nine tracks of programming, including 24 informative sessions, 16 in-depth workshops, as well as ample opportunities for networking and socializing. The Wisconsin Council for Local History will sponsor the Fourth Annual Town Square, a unique networking event for local groups to share information about their organization’s activities. The popular Coffee and Conversation hour on Saturday morning will also return. The variety of offerings will appeal to professionals and volunteers, students, and preservation commissioners and staff. Located just west of Madison, the Madison Marriott West in Middleton offers top-notch meeting facilities with many nearby attractions and amenities. After the conference concludes on Saturday, you can explore a few historical highlights including the First Unitarian Society Meeting House (a Frank Lloyd Wright design), visit the Rowley House and Middleton Depot museums, or explore archaeology at Pope Farm Park. We’ve also arranged for a special tour time at Taliesin, the former home and estate of architect Frank Lloyd Wright." Funding was provided in part by a 2015 Historic Preservation Fund grant administered by the Wisconsin State Historic Preservation Office (project number WI-15-011, grant number P15AF00060) and the State, Tribal, and Local Plans and Grants Division, National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior.
