Wisconsin History Collection
Watch PBS Wisconsin history programs created in partnership with the Wisconsin Historical Society.
The Wisconsin History Partnership was established in 1998 as a bold experiment to bring together the state’s flagship public television station and historical society to tell Wisconsin’s history through the medium of television. Since then, this enduring collaboration has brought over 100 programs about the people, places and events that shaped Wisconsin history to televisions, computers and mobile phones across the state.
