We stopped for a visit yesterday and talked with Jean, one of the genealogy club members who was volunteering. The photos show why I strongly suggest finding the local genealogy or history facility. Waupaca is a small town--only about 5,000+ population, but the research center is first class.

| One half of the building holds the historical society materials, including photos and many donated collections. |
 |
| There is plenty of room for research. Not seen in any of the photos is the cabinet containing surname and subject files. |
 |
| The two sections behind us hold family histories, cemetery books, obituary files, etc. |
 |
Shelves behind me contain state and local history books and photo albums.

As you saw from the outside photos, the facility is only open three days a week. Be sure to call ahead whenever you plan to visit a small town to be sure the center will be available.
