[1] The Danes Hall was organized by eleven members of the Danish club on January 6, 1877.

A group of members of the Waupaca community got together to see what could be done to provide these men with a more suitable environment to gather.

The Danes Home (De Danske Hjem) was the first lodge to organize for social and literary purposes.

After some years The Danes Home Society had their own insurance for the benefit of the sick and incapacitated.

The newly organized Danes Home rented three more different locations before they made the purchase of a building of their own in 1882.

The Waupaca Republican newspaper stated that the building was brilliantly illuminated with electric lights and profusely decorated with festoons of evergreens, flowers, and flags.

The newspaper also stated that all who attended enjoyed the exercise, the dance, the music, the social, and the supper.

From the description in the Waupaca republican on December 7, 1894, the main entrance from the sidewalk opened through three doors to a vestibule, where there were two doors which led to the assembly hall, ladies parlor, smoking room, cloak room, and ticket office.

At the time of the dedication, and for many years after, the Danes Home was the largest meeting facility in Waupaca.

Throughout the 1930s and early 1940s the Danes Home Society saw a declining membership with the end result being reported in The Waupaca County Post on March 8, 1945; "Danes Home, a Waupaca landmark for 50 years is sold."

In June 1975 Mr. Bille sold the former Danes Home building to the law firm of Johnson, Hansen, and Shambeau, but continued to operate his business from this location until April 1977.

The Danes Home Antiques business operated for several years and then closed in 2015 and moved out.
