SUMMARY:Chippewa Valley Book Festival - Jerome Poling discusses American Birkebeiner: The Nation's Greatest Ski Marathon
DESCRIPTION:Chippewa Valley Book Festival welcomes author Jerome Poling\, sharing the history of the famed American Birkebeiner\, North America’s premier cross-country skiing event\n\n\n\nThe American Birkebeiner between Hayward and Cable\, Wis.\, is North America’s largest cross-country ski marathon and one of the largest in the world\, with more than 10\,000 competitors annually. How did founder Tony Wise fuel its rise from humble beginnings\, with just 54 skiers in 1973? What keeps skiers\, from weekend warriors to Olympians\, coming back each February despite the extreme\, 30-plus-mile challenge through the snow and hills of northern Wisconsin? Attendees will be inspired by the fascinating history of the Birkebeiner and its visionary founder — one man’s dream that became the pride of two communities and the talk of the Nordic ski world — as well as the spirit of the race. \n\n\n\nJournalist and author Jerome “Jerry” P. Poling has skied more than twenty-five American Birkebeiners and has reported on the race for nearly forty years. He has published four other books\, including two on the Green Bay Packers\, one on Henry Aaron\, and one on the history of the University of Wisconsin at Stout. He lives in Eau Claire\, Wisconsin. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTicket/Registration Info\n\n\n\nRegistration is required for this free event\, which is offered with in-person and virtual attendance options.

SUMMARY:Flood Waters Rising\, A New Chloe Ellefson Mystery
DESCRIPTION:Event Details \nSunday\, November 1\, 2026 | 1:30 PM – 3 PM \n \nCelebrate The Newest Book in the Chloe Ellefson Series Set at the Elegant Villa Louis \nJoin us for an afternoon filled with mystery as Kathleen Ernst releases Flood Waters Rising\, the 12th book in the Chloe Ellefson historic mystery series. In her most recent adventure\, Chloe travels to southwest Wisconsin and the Villa Louis to help protect vulnerable collections from a flood. The elegant Villa Louis is not in danger\, but the nearby Fur Trade Museum will certainly be submerged. Before the work begins\, the discovery of a body in the Museum jeopardizes the entire artifact rescue plan.  \nThe book launch for Flood Wates Rising will take place in the Brisbois Fur Warehouse. Guests interested in exploring Villa Louis can purchase a General Admission ticket to tour the site. Books will be available for sale with a chance for Kathleen Ernst to autograph your book after her talk. \nWhat You’ll Experience    \n\nA special author event with Kathleen Ernst to launch the 12th book in the Chloe Ellefson series\, Flood Waters Rising\nA chance to purchase a copy of the book and have it signed by Kathleen Ernst\nTea and French Canadian treats will be served\n\nCost \nFree and open to the public   \nGuests must be 13+ \n \nAbout the Location  \nVilla Louis served as a comfortable and stylish country estate for three generations of the Dousman family—a family that built its fortune from early American frontier opportunities such as land and transportation investments. Hercules L. Dousman began development of the site during the 1840s on the banks of the Mississippi River in Prairie du Chien. The property has since expanded into a 25-acre complex complete with historic structures and archaeological remains that reference the early history of the site. Upon the death of Hercules in 1868\, widow Jane Dousman and son H. Louis Dousman contracted Milwaukee architect E. Townsend Mix to build the stately mansion that now rests at the heart of the property.  In addition to the new residence\, H. Louis expanded the site to include a farm for breeding and racing horses.  After Louis’ death\, Nina Dousman raised their children at Villa Louis\, and the property remained under family ownership until it was given to the City of Prairie du Chien in 1935. In 1950\, Villa Louis became property of the Wisconsin Historical Society and opened to the public in 1952.    \n \nPrior to Dousman ownership\, Indigenous natives lived on the Villa Louis grounds over 2000 years ago. For centuries\, Native Nations of the upper Mississippi gathered upon the island to trade among themselves until the fur trade brought French-speaking traders in contact with Indigenous tribesmen and women. The trade also attracted free Black settlers to Prairie du Chien. Additionally\, officers and agents of the United States brought enslaved men and women to the prairie\, some of whom lived at Fort Crawford and other structures that once stood on land that is now part of Villa Louis State Historic Site. Research and restorations continue to fully expand the story of these early residents and events.   \nVilla Louis Historic Site  \n(PO Box 65)  \n521 Villa Louis Road  \nPrairie du Chien\, WI 53821-0065  \n \nKnow Before You Go \n \n\n \n\n \n\nDoors to this free experience open at 1:30 PM. The event will take place at Brisbois Fur Warehouse on the Villa Louis grounds.\nTreats\, tea and water will be served from 1:30 PM to 2 PM.\nThe program will begin promptly at 2 PM and last 45 minutes with 15 minutes for a Q&A period.\nBecause of the historic nature of the buildings\, not all areas are ADA accessible.\n\nGuests with additional mobility needs are encouraged to contact the site directly at 608-326-2721 or villalouis@wisconsinhistory.org.  \n\n\n \nHave Questions?   \nFor more information\, please contact the box office at 608-264-4848 or boxoffice@wisconsinhistory.org

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\n\n\n\n\nOrganizer\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue
