On a cold November afternoon in 1985, founders Tim Paegelow, Tom Farley and Pat Connolly solidified their idea of offering a venue for traditional music to prosper here in Mt. Morris, by creating the Black Hawk Folk Society (BHFS). Not too long after, this group became a 501(c)3 organization. Since then, dedicated BHFS volunteers have continued to bring live professional folk music to central Wisconsin with concerts EVERY MONTH! Over one hundred performers have shared their songs, stories and talent with us over these 30+ years and we hope to keep enjoying these good vibes with you decades into the future.
“If the way seems long and slow, remember when you go, there’s a day worth livin’, there’s a friend worth knowin’, there’s a song worth singin’ down the road.”
