Oconomowoc Tours and Events was created to highlight the history of the Oconomowoc area. Working with Laurie Yanke Muffler to research and highlight the history on the shores on Lac LaBelle for our boat tours, Laurie has worked as part of the board at the Oconomowoc Historical Society. Nancy Lin has recently announced her retirement and we would like to thank her for her dedication to the community and our history.

Please see the article attached that highlights Nancy and her contributions:
