Dinner, Music & Memories: Celebrating 50 Years of Wilson Place

Celebrate 50 years of preserving Menomonie's history at Wilson Place Museum. Enjoy an elegant summer evening featuring a catered dinner on the historic mansion grounds, live music by acclaimed Americana singer-songwriter Jason Dae West, and the opportunity to be part of a milestone celebration that honors the people, stories, and community that have kept Wilson Place alive for generations.  

Tickets: $60 per person  ... Includes dinner, live concert, and admission to one of the signature events of Wilson Place Museum's 50th Anniversary Weekend.

In 1976, Wilson Place was opened to the public as a museum by dedicated community volunteers. Fifty years later, we invite you to celebrate that legacy and help ensure its future. Proceeds from this event support the preservation of the Wilson Place Museum. 

This special anniversary event will be one of the signature celebrations of the Wilson Place Museum's 50th Anniversary Weekend.

Celebrating 50 Years of Preservation

Guests will enjoy a catered summer dinner served outdoors on the front lawn and patio overlooking the historic Wilson Place grounds and Lake Menomin.  Gather with friends, fellow history enthusiasts, and supporters of the museum for an evening of great food, conversation, and celebration.

Following dinner, relax on the lawn as nationally touring singer-songwriter Jason Dae West performs an evening of Americana, folk, and storytelling music. His performances blend heartfelt lyrics, rich acoustic sound, and engaging stories that create an unforgettable concert experience. 

Jason was raised in the Red Cedar Valley, and many of his songs reflect the people, places, and stories of this region.

Every ticket purchased directly supports the preservation of Wilson Place Museum and helps ensure that future generations can experience and learn from Menomonie's rich history.
