Our Organization

Established in 2003, the Delavan Historical Society educates, preserves, and creates awareness for Delavan's unique and storied past.

Our mission

The Delavan Historical Society was established in 2003 to educate, preserve, and create awareness for Delavan's unique and storied past. We operate the Exhibit and Resource Center, collecting and preserving historical documents and artifacts related to our community, and we are a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

Museum displays rotate quarterly, and we actively seek donations, volunteers, and memberships to support ongoing preservation efforts.
