The Wisconsin Historical Society has been gathering the incredible story of Oscar Mayer’s 98-year presence on the Northside. You may have seen the news that we acquired and restored the 1969 Wienermobile, as well as photographs, equipment, company records and memorabilia. Now, we need your help to
collect the stories of the many whose lives were touched in some way by the Oscar Mayer plant. 

You could be part of the permanent story of Oscar Mayer and have your legacy available for future exhibitions and publications or for students and researchers.

Do you have a compelling story? Would you be willing to sit down for a recorded interview? If so, please contact Paul Hedges at 264-6451 or Paul.Hedges@WisconsinHistory.org.
