A room with history
For many people in Wausau, the Wausau Club means the ballroom. Built in 1901–1902 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building has been lovingly renovated, and you can see it in the architecture, the woodwork and the hardwood floors. When your guests walk in, they step into a piece of Wausau's history.
