Outreach

Our Outreach efforts span across a large demographic. We also can focus on specific areas and timeframes in history that pertain to our outreach needs and wants.

Many people have asked if we have a copy of a book that was dedicated to Elaine Lund and written about Westby's early history. History Alive Project has decided to make a 3rd printing of this book.

If you wish to purchase this book, they on sale at Dregne's Scandinavian Gifts in Westby or from Dave Amundson (608-634-3034).

All proceeds will go to fund History Alive Project's upcoming fall activities.

Presentations

The History Alive Project travels to many areas, hosting historic presentations, discussions and story sharing. Our outreach includes:

Senior Living & Nursing Homes
Church groups
Organizations
History enthusiasts

Historical Tours

We guide a variety of local informative walking tours:

Walking tours of Westby
Cemetery Tours

These tours can be customized on historic themes, the size and age of your group and the goals you want to meet on the historic tours.

Displays

We create many displays about the history of the Westby area. It can be a broad overview, or specifically focused on a certain era, event or theme.

Many of our displays can be seen in public areas around Westby.

Our goals are to educate and reminisce about days gone by.
