Plain History Genealogy Group

Goal of Our Group

The story of the Plain area and the people that built it is a great story. The goal of our group is to gather whatever we can to document this rich history. These documents that tell this story will be available to everyone through the Plain library's Local History Room. This gathering mission will not be restricted to the village limits but the general Sauk County area.
