Parkersburg, IA Historical Society The focus of the Parkersburg Historical Society is the preservation and restoration of the C.C. Wolf Mansion by sharing this treasure with the public. The C.C.

Wolf home was constructed in 1895 at a cost of $35,000. It was used as the private residence of Charles C. & Mary A. Wilson Wolf until 1926 when it was sold at public auction for $8000. It was later gifted to the City of Parkersburg to be used as a Community House which housed the public library, community organizations and also provided a hall for banquets and dances until 1970 when the City turn

ed it over to the newly formed Parkersburg Historical Society. The last 45 years have been spent restoring the beautiful Queen Anne style Victorian home. Parkersburg's history in the form of artifacts, photographs and other items gifted by families connected to Parkersburg are maintained within the walls and are open for public viewing from Memorial Day to Labor Day or by appointment. Membership is $10 per person annually.
