The La Crosse Community Concert Association was founded by John G. Felton, Sr. (1885-1958) in 1932, and he remained the president of the organization through 1952.

The collection consists mainly of concert programs and artist's promotional photographs, many of which are autographed, of the performing artists, as well as correspondence, lists of artists, membership cards and ticket stubs. The La Crosse Community Concert Association's last season was 1979-1980.
