Inside the
Swiss Center!

Beth Zurbuchen, President/CEO
See Bio here.
While those with Swiss ancestry are justifiably proud of our heritage, the contributions made by the Swiss are not widely known by many in North America. We are working to change that. I invite you to learn more about the Swiss Center. We are working to tell the historical and contemporary story of the Swiss people through our Swiss roots.

I am the granddaughter of Rudy Wuthrich who emigrated from Canton Bern in 1923, and great grandaughter of Christian Zurbuchen of Habkern, Canton Bern, who emigrated in 1888, and Barbara Andrea Zurbuchen of Andeer in Canton Graubunden who arrived in Wisconsin in 1893.
