In its first and perhaps annual Willis Miller Day, the St. Croix County Historical Society honored the local historian who died in November of 2008.
Miller was one of the founding members of the society and created the most complete history of Hudson through his books and genealogical index. Nearly 100 people took part in the event which included free tours of the first floor of the Octagon House and as well narration by volunteers in period dress.
