GET INVOLVED
No place really becomes a community until it is wrapped in human memory: Family stories, celebrated traditions and every day life all contribute to this. No place is a community until it has awareness of its history. Our connections and commitment to one another are strengthened when we share stories and experiences.
The History Alive Project is a Non-profit 501c3 organization specializing in "out of the box" projects to discover and maintain the Westby area's history for community members of all ages. We welcome you and your ideas, no membership or dues required.
