About Us

Here's what's new
Postcards from the Past
After two years of work, the Wanatah Historical Society postcard book has finally been published.
The beautiful all-color book contains 52 scenic Wanatah cards and 90 holiday greeting cards.
Every card in the book has some connection to Wanatah and its citizens. The original names, addresses and messages are included with every card.
The book was conceived and printed by our Society members, Audra Bailey Richardson, Jon Mack and Kathy Mack.

Can you help?
The Wanatah Historical Society is seeking these items for its collection:
- Picture of the Coal Dock
- "Cock of the Walk" flour sack
- Information and photos about the Hobo Camp in Wanatah
- Any old pictures tucked away in your attic, shoebox or album for loan or donation
Memorial Bricks
Orders for memorial bricks are now being taken for installation in the museum courtyard. Bricks are $60.00 each. They may be inscribed with either the donor's name or in memory of someone.
