Special rules in place to ensure safety for all<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Janesville, WI<\/strong> \u2014 The Rock County Historical Society (RCHS) plans to open to the public with safety precautions in place on July 1, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tours of the Lincoln-Tallman House<\/a><\/strong> and visits to see exhibits at the Helen Jeffris Wood Museum and Visitor Center<\/a><\/strong> will be available by appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social events and business meeting requests at the Tallman Carriage House<\/a><\/strong> will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Charles Tallman Archives<\/strong><\/a> staff and volunteers will continue to conduct research requests remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to offering tours, and the many other services that RCHS provides, in a safe manner,\u201d said RCHS Executive Director Tim Maahs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RCHS Board and Maahs collaborated on the re-opening plan with the safety of all visitors, employees and volunteers in mind. Anyone on RCHS\u2019 campus will be required to wear a mask and remain socially distant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional safety measures will be explained to visitors when they make appointments. All buildings will be disinfected regularly, and hand sanitizer will be provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For appointments or research requests, contact RCHS by calling at 608-756-4509 or emailing Maahs at\u00a0tmaahs@rchs.us<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
