Event Series: History Makers Tour

“We Like to Dive Right In” History Walk

August 3 – October 30

Explore the outdoor display and discover shipwrecks in Wisconsin waters.

Did you know there are more than 700 shipwrecks in Wisconsin waters? Shipwrecks are a key resource for learning about our maritime history. Though written documents provide much information about the past, they cannot tell the full story. Dive in and explore how underwater archaeologists uncover, document, and preserve this lost history.

Outdoor display that features large-scale reproductions of photos of Wisconsin shipwrecks.

The 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. 

The 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.
