Journey through the past and discover the roots of Wisconsin's German culture and traditions.
German Community Life and Traditions in Wisconsin: German immigrants kept many of their traditions while also being part of the state’s multi-lingual and multi-ethnic society. This presentation will look at their organizations and clubs; music, theater, and tavern culture; newspapers and magazines; as well as events today that have a German angle, such as Christmas markets and Oktober fests, but represent a unique Wisconsin regional culture. Presented by Antje Petty, the Associate Director and Outreach Manager of the Max Kade Institute for German-American Studies.
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.
