The first meeting of The North Wood County Historical Society took place on September 19, 1952 at the Marshfield Public Library and consisted of a small group of determined individuals that within a few months had created Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws.
Toward the end of 1975, the Society was able to purchase the William H. Upham home located at 212 West Third Street. In January of 1976, the Governor William H. Upham House was placed on the National Registry of Houses. The next couple of years were spent restoring and putting in order the house and yard. On Sunday, June 25, 1978 the new home of the North Wood County Historical Society was officially opened to the public.
