Marathon County Historical Society and Yawkey House Museum [WI]
The Marathon County Historical Society seeks to preserve and share the history of Wisconsin—with particular emphasis on Marathon County. To this end, the society operates a local history exhibit area, research library, and the Yawkey House Museum. The Yawkey House is a 1901 Classical Revival residence now furnished in the style of 1915.
The society offers exhibits, 30-minute exhibit and museum guided tours, outreach presentations and slide shows, research library access, research assistance, relevant videos for rental, a junior historical society, and genealogy classes. Payment of a fee is required for research assistance. Reservations are required for museum group tours. The website offers historical photographs and biographies of past county residents.
