Presented by Jeff Kannel from the Wisconsin Historical Society 

History at Noon: Lunchtime Journeys Through the Past: Join us for an enriching and relaxed lunchtime history program at the library! Bring your own bag lunch and enjoy a lively, engaging discussion of fascinating historical topics, all while connecting with fellow history enthusiasts.  Light refreshments will be provided.

Each month, we'll explore a different theme, period, or historical event, uncovering the stories that have shaped our world. Whether it's a deep dive into local history, the lives of historical figures, or pivotal moments in global history, you’ll be transported through time while sharing a meal with others.

Funded by a gift from the estate of Naomi B. Strehlow.
