President's Message

Dear Friends and Members of WAHS,

2021 Sweet Rides & Sweet Pies is over but it is certainly one for the history books! More than 140 cars; more than 60 awards and prizes; more people attending than we can count! Thank you to everyone who came, who helped make the event possible and who supported the event with their sponsorship! We couldn't do it without you!  Plan for our 2022 Sweet Rides & Sweet Pies for July 30. It will be even more amazing than this year!

We are continuing to work on updating our displays and do a complete inventory of our collection. We can't wait for you to visit and see all the wonderful things we have been doing. We have one more room to renovate. The "Tobacco Room" will hold a huge amount of information about agriculture from this area. We hope to have it done soon!

Our Genealogy Research Center continues to grow with more Westby connections all the time. If you haven't sent in your Centennial Circle application, there's no time like the present! 

The Westby Area Historical Society has a lot going on and we want you to be a part of it! Become a member, make a donation or come visit during one of of our Saturday Open House afternoons. We'd love to tell you some Westby stories and maybe you can tell us some of yours!  

Blaine Hedberg
