Visit Heritage Hall to View Our Collection of Family Histories
Many of the family histories were written at the time of the town’s centennial when people were asked to fill out a brief questionnaire about their family background. Others were submitted for the Lutheran Church centennial. Some are handwritten and brief, others are quite extensive.

We are fortunate to have these colorful snapshots of Port Wing area history. Recent arrivals to founding families are represented in the collection. Some are detailed and others are brief. Read them at the Heritage Hall museum.
