Closed Dec 6: The Wisconsin Historical Society will be closing its historic sites in addition to the library and archives reading rooms at the Society's headquarters building on December 6th for an all-staff conference.
The Wisconsin Historical Society, in partnership with Wisconsin's Native Nations, is preserving a pair of historic dugout canoes recovered from Lake Mendota. Testing revealed the first canoe is 1,200 years old and the second 3,000 years old.
They will help provide a more complete story of how Native American ancestors lived in the area thousands of years ago while also connecting their traditions to the vibrant Tribal Nations of today.
