Behind the Scenes at Whitman School House

Thursday, Oct 8, 2026, 5:00 pm, Whitman School House, 401 Beloit Street, Burlington, WI. FREE.

Please note: This program is the rain date for the event originally scheduled in June.

Discover the story behind one of our community’s treasured landmarks! Join us at Whitman School for a special event celebrating the building’s rich history and preservation efforts by the Historical Society. Learn about the school’s past, and gain rare, behind-the-scenes access to items housed in the “storage shed”— many never previously on display.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply curious about local heritage, this is a unique opportunity to connect with the past and see preservation in action.

All are welcome, though this program is best suited for adult audiences.
