On May 20, 2025, a devastating fire tore through one of our historic buildings in downtown Menomonie, WI, that was home to Town & Country Antiques. Not only has Menomonie lost one of its historic downtown buildings, but the fire has also caused extensive smoke and water damage throughout the block. Sylvia and Veronica have lost their businesses, many vendors have lost their inventory & collections, and our community has lost a landmark that has stood for more than 100 years.

All donations will go to affected businesses and tenants to assist with cleanup, restoration, and rebuilding.

Menomonie is a tight-knit community that always shows up for each other. Let's all rally behind these businesses and support them through this tragedy. Whether you're a resident, a UW-Stout alumnus, or just love to visit our downtown, your help is greatly appreciated. Can't donate? Share the link on social media for others to see.
