Waupun Historical Society Sponsors Native American Talks The Waupun Historical Society is sponsoring Native American talks at the Waupun Public Library on Thursdays at 6:30 PM. The talks will be given by Julie Flemming who is well known for her study of the Native Americans that lived in the area. She will be doing a series of four talks, but it is not necessary to attend all four to gain information on our Native American History in Dodge County and Wisconsin.
