Willkommen!Farming Exhibit
The historical society is taking some time to dig into a major part of our area: farming. The first of three years is coming to a close with the last time to view being the night of the Light Parade and Tree Lighting, December 7th. Meetings: Our last meeting for a few months is coming up quickly: December 17th at 7 PM. As a reminder, we do skip a few months in the winter, so check with a board member if you're not sure if we are meeting or not. Membership is $5.00, but you need not be a member to attend.

The History Of Our Museum ExhibitsWe opened the Westphalia Historical Society Building and Museum in 2014. Since then, each year from Memorial Day to the late fall we have themed exhibits in our building. If you take a tour of our website, you'll find pictures and information about what types of exhibits we've done in the past.
In 2017, after a great Our Town exhibit, we decided to dedicate part of our building to a permanent exhibit dedicated to Our Town. By doing this, whenever you visit our building you'll have an opportunity to visit a little bit of our past while also getting to see something new, as the rest of the building is now a themed exhibit that rotates yearly.

Our little museum is a great size for our little village and surrounding areas. Our past exhibits have been school days, veterans, and Westphalia weddings. Flip through our photos to see what you can find. Keep in touch to find out what we'll be having next. Cemetery Walk, Every September
