The Heart of Okauchee: A Fundraising Gala for the Oconomowoc Area Historical Society

Description

The Oconomowoc Area Historical Society & Museum is excited to announce its annual fundraising gala, scheduled for October 1. As both the museum's largest fundraiser of the year and its most significant community outreach event, the gala plays a vital role in supporting its daily operations and continued growth.
