SUMMARY:"Thinking Big Is What We Do" History Walk
DESCRIPTION:Explore the outdoor display and view large-scale reproductions of tall-tale postcards.\n\n\n\nTall-tale postcards became popular at the start of the twentieth century. Modified images like the ones seen in this outdoor display were created when photographers took two prints: one of a background landscape\, and another close-up of an object that was cut out and superimposed onto the first. The results are playful pictures in which strawberries reach the size of boulders and fishermen grapple with whale-size catches. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNote: For hours\, admission\, and pricing\, please contact the hosting venue. The display will be located along the river walk that is part of the venue grounds. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Wisconsin History Makers Tour will bring history directly to local communities in every region of the state through pop-up exhibits\, object displays\, public programs\, outdoor installations\, and other activities.  \n\n\n\nThe History Makers Tour is presented by Culver’s and is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services\, Grant Number: MA-253159-OMS-23.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:Great Lakes Small Streams: How Water Shapes Wisconsin
DESCRIPTION:Explore this water-themed traveling display that showcases Wisconsin’s long relationship with water and the impact we have had on our waterways.\n\n\n\nIt is impossible to fully understand Wisconsin – its history\, culture and prospects for the future – without an appreciation of water’s power to create opportunities\, influence decisions and shape the events that become our shared story. To experience and fully appreciate life in Wisconsin today\, and to make decisions that will chart the course of our future\, it is essential for Wisconsin residents and students to understand the historical role water played to shape our land\, economy\, culture and spirit.  \n\n\n\nThe exhibit will teach audiences about our relationship with water as a state. The exhibit will place many of our current concerns in a historical context and show how our state was changed over time by the force of water. Visitors will see the consequences—good and bad—of past decisions and will be challenged to incorporate insights they gain into actions that can secure a more hopeful future for all of us regarding water. \n\n\n\n\n\n“Great Lakes Small Streams” on display at Wade House\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Wisconsin Historical Society gratefully acknowledges the Herzfeld Foundation\, Wisconsin Humanities Council\, and Ralph Evinrude Foundation for their generous support of this exhibit. \n\n\n\nNote: For hours and other admission information\, please contact the hosting venue. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Wisconsin History Makers Tour will bring history directly to local communities in every region of the state through pop-up exhibits\, object displays\, public programs\, outdoor installations\, and other activities.  \n\n\n\nThe History Makers Tour is presented by Culver’s and is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services\, Grant Number: MA-253159-OMS-23.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
