Event Description
2027 is the centennial of the Swiss American Historical Society (SAHS). To celebrate this milestone, we have created a traveling exhibit where people can learn more about our history and the Society’s impact on Swiss-Americans, and their communities throughout the United States. This exhibit will increase awareness for the organization, and should grow Swiss American Historical Society membership and bring in new contributing authors.
The exhibit is scheduled to appear for one month at the following locations. Many (but not all) have a Swiss connection.
