The Ozaukee County Historical Society, established in 1960, is a non-profit organization that owns and operates three historic properties in Cedarburg, WI. These include the Hazel Wirth Archives and Research Center, which houses an extensive collection of family histories and records, as well as the business office of the society. The society also maintains the Ozaukee County Pioneer Village, a collection of 24 historic structures dating back to 1840, open to the public from mid-May to October.
One of the notable buildings in the village is the Stony Hill School, a beautiful field stone one-room schoolhouse where Bernard Cigrand taught and observed the first Flag Day in 1885. The society's mission is to restore, furnish, and preserve these historic structures, providing visitors with the opportunity to step back in time and experience a simpler way of life. With educational tours, annual events, and a wealth of historical resources, the Ozaukee County Historical Society offers a unique glimpse into the rich heritage of the area.
