2027
Wisconsin History Center
Get excited, history buffs! The Wisconsin History Center on the Capitol Square is under construction and anticipated to open in late 2027. The 100,000-square-foot, five-story center will house an 8,000-square-foot gallery for traveling national exhibits. The facility will include several gathering spaces, including cafés, public programming seating with Capitol views, a fourth floor terrace plus rooftop terrace, a fifth floor event space with Capitol views for public and private gatherings, plus a pre-function space for public and private gatherings.
The Historian Hotel (Marriott Tribute Portfolio)
Opening in February 2027 and adjacent to the Wisconsin History Center will be the Historian Hotel—an 81-key boutique hotel that will occupy an 111-year-old historic building with restored original features, plus floors dedicated to the people and groups that shaped Madison’s history. The ground floor will feature a new culinary concept led by James Beard nominee chef Dan Jacobs, a Season 21 finalist on Top Chef.
Madison LakeWay
The Madison LakeWay will transform 1.7 miles of shoreline and 17 acres of land along Lake Monona, increasing lake access, improving aquatic habitats and providing even more opportunities for attendees to enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds our lakeside convention center. Construction of the new SkyLine Pier is planned for 2027–2028.
