"New Berlin Area History - 150th Anniversary Edition" Book
With a lot of help from everyone, as a part of New Berlin's 150th Anniversary in 2015, the Society plans to update and publish a new, updated book on the History of New Berlin Area. While the 1965 Edition is still widely discussed, many do not know that an update was released in 1991. This new Edition will encompass the History from the time of the very early settlement of 'The Grove' to the current time.
Courtney Brehm-Dzierwa has taken the lead on coordinating this project! Please email her at Book@NewBerlinAreaHistory.org with any and all items!
