Deeper Roots for a Stronger Waukee
Life moves fast, and in the blink of an eye, what was once a tiny town with roots in agriculture, mining, and railroads can become one of the fastest-growing cities in Iowa. With the passage of time, it’s too easy for the story—the very history of that town—to fade.
A town without history loses its identity.
That’s why Waukee Area Historical Society is on a mission to preserve the history of our community and pass it on to future generations.
For All Waukee Has Been — and All It Will Become
Our history isn’t just about looking back—it’s about shaping the future. The story of Waukee is only powerful when it is preserved and told continuously as it unfolds.
Waukee of Past
Waukee, Iowa, has a rich history and deep heritage. By ensuring that the stories, traditions, and landmarks of our community are preserved, we can explore the past together. Waukee Area Historical Society offers educational programs and artifact exhibits to help you learn about and celebrate our history.
Waukee of Present
As a community, Waukee is strongest when we gather together to make memories and honor traditions. This helps us build bridges between generations of Waukee residents and cultivate our small-town life. We sponsor and support local community events that offer residents the chance to live the present in Waukee.
Waukee of Future
We believe today is tomorrow’s history. So, Waukee Area Historical Society works to preserve the future by gathering volunteers and donors who are passionate about capturing our community’s ongoing history through innovative preservation techniques and advancing technology, making Waukee history widely accessible to future generations.
