About Us
The South Wood County Historical Museum is located in the 1907 home of Isaac and Charlotte Witter, formerly known as "Shadowlawn."
In 1947, Isaac's brother-in-law, George W. Mead, purchased the Witter home and grounds and presented it to the city of Wisconsin Rapids to house the T.B. Scott Public Library, which opened in 1948.
After the McMillan Memorial Library was built and opened in 1970, the building and land were deeded to the South Wood County Historical Corporation for the museum, which opened in 1972.
During our exhibition season, which runs from April through Labor Day, you will find permanent, temporary, and traveling displays about local, state, and national history.
Please visit during our office hours for any historical questions, archival requests, or membership information.
