This past fall, the exterior of the Historical Society Museum was repainted thanks to the generosity of the Village & Town of Eagle.

Thanks also to all of you who donated money for  new shutters on the building.  

Take a look!!!

Watch for more changes soon.  We have moved the Museum sign and are planning on changing the entryway and sidewalk with the steps facing directly to the street for easier access.

The Eagle Historical Society hosted an Ice Cream Social on Sunday July 12th from 1:30 pm until 3:30 pm at the Eagle Village Park in celebration of the 200th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. The Palmyra Eagle Community Band in conjunction with the Eagle Historical Society was proud to present:

“From Lincoln to Sousa: A Journey of America!”

Guests enjoyed an old fashioned Sunday in the park as the Palmyra Eagle Band took you and your family back to the bygone days of two great American icons, Abraham Lincoln and John Philip Sousa! We hear music that moved and inspired our most beloved President Lincoln. Sousa was the greatest American entertainer of his day! His father was a member of the U.S. Marine Band during the Civil War and played countless times for the President. Sousa grew up hearing these melodies that had a strong influence on him. While our future bandmaster never personally met the tall man, he was destined to share a place in the heart of every American as both would become lasting symbols of our beloved nation. Add a polka or two for our beloved state and you have an unbeatable program of family delights that is guaranteed to be toe-tappin’ with melodies that will have you humming for days!

Eagle Cub Scout, Pack 54, under the leadership of Cub Master Amy Butenhoff, participated in a flag ceremony and the pledge of Allegiance to start off the concert at 2:00 pm..

Nestled in the heart of the Southern unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest, Eagle Wisconsin is a small sleepy community located at edge of the Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest about 40 miles southwest of Milwaukee. We have a rich history and an exciting future. The video is a collage of the sights of Eagle…a year in review for 2008, produced for the Eagle Historical Society.
