Paul Wolter
Paul Wolter was born in Baraboo in 1970. His intimate involvement with the town began in 1996 when he was asked to join the board of the Sauk County Historical Society. He gladly said yes for he had fallen in love with the Society’s largest artifact – the Van Orden Mansion. After a few years Paul became president of the Historical Society.
During his 15-year tenure as President, Paul led the Society on a journey to expand its operations by acquiring and restoring the historic Island Woolen Mill as the Sauk County History Center, located on Second Avenue. This allow the Society to modernize its operations and preserve a significant part of Baraboo’s history.
A love of local history and historic architecture continue to be evidenced in Paul’s leadership as Executive Director. Every year Baraboo residents enjoy enriching events that give them deeper understanding of the place they call home – historic Baraboo in Sauk County, Wisconsin.
