History Maker Space

The Wisconsin Historical Society's History Maker Space store sells unique items that celebrate the rich history and culture of the Badger State. Find jewelry, games, gifts, apparel, and engaging books about Wisconsin's history makers. Find items that help you make history, and enjoy browsing our exclusive selection of products from local makers!

Opened to the public Oct. 12, 2023, the History Maker Space is a temporary space for our continued programming on Capitol Square where we are hosting pop-up exhibits, author talks, public programs and history center sneak peeks during the construction of the new building. It is in the US Bank Plaza at 1 S Pinckney Street.

The WHS online store is separate from the History Maker Space, and it carries a different assortment of products than the shops at our historic sites. If you are hoping to purchase a specific item, call the History Maker Space to confirm hours and product availability.

Every purchase supports the Society’s mission of collecting, preserving and sharing our state’s history.
