Event Details
In celebration of America250, Pauline Haass Public Library and the Wisconsin Veterans Museum presents Wisconsin Ties to the American Revolution.
The years 2025 to 2033 mark the 250th anniversary of the War of Independence. Victory over Britain made the territory of Wisconsin part of the United States. Although Wisconsin was not a state at the time, and would not be until 1848, there came many descendants of the Revolutionary generation that later built the State of Wisconsin. This talk will explore ties between Wisconsin and the revolutionary generation, including the 40-plus veterans of that conflict buried in the state.
Presented by Christopher L Kolakowski, director of the Wisconsin Veterans Museum. Free to attend, but registration is required.
