Blanchardville Historical Society Museum

The Blanchardville Historical Society Museum in Blanchardville, WI, traces its roots back to the town's founding in 1848 by a group of Mormons who settled along the Pecatonica River. Named after Alvin Blanchard, the town flourished with the arrival of the Illinois Central Railroad in 1888, becoming a bustling trade center with a strong dairy industry. Dedicated to preserving the rich history of Blanchardville, the museum showcases artifacts and memorabilia from the town's past, including its agricultural heritage and the significance of the Pecatonica River. Open seasonally on Saturday mornings, the museum invites visitors to explore the town's fascinating evolution from its Mormon beginnings to a thriving community deeply rooted in local history.Generated from the website
