Welcome to the
Dodge County
Historical Society
and Museum
The Dodge County Historical Society is dedicated
to the preservation, advancement and
dissemination of the knowledge and history
of Dodge County, Wisconsin,
specifically Beaver Dam.
The Dodge County Historical Society, an affiliate
of the Wisconsin State Historical Society,
was formed in 1938, for the preservation of
articles pertaining to pioneer days and
to the early history of Beaver Dam.
Mr. Joseph Hoyt was selected as president.
The museum was located on the second floor
of the Concert Hall in a room, which for several
years prior to the building of the City Hall,
served as a council chamber.
The acquisitions of the society grew rapidly
and additional room on the same floor was provided.
Many articles were reconditioned at the headquarters
of the State Wide Museum Project, Milwaukee,
a branch of the WPA. The society had been the
dream of Mrs. Peter Beule, one of the
chief organizers, for many years.
In 1985, the city of Beaver Dam leased the former
Williams Free Library building to the
Dodge County Historical Society.
Regular hours of the Museum, located at
