About

The Ridge History Park is dedicated to the preservation of one of Wisconsin's rural, agriculturally rich landmarks.  Using historic structures, artifacts and archives, the Park celebrates the history of indigenous people who cared for the land and immigrant settlers who established farms, building a new generation of land conservation advocates.

Services

Our park offers a variety of experiences for all ages.  New interactive programming and events are in the process of being developed, including K-12 student field trips, dry camping on the site, hiking trails with educational signage, and more.  Our facilities are open for affordable event rentals for weddings, anniversaries, family reunions or organizational board or staff retreats.
