Wisconsin’s John Muir: An Exhibit Celebrating the Centennial of the National Park Service
September 15 – October 15
Commemorate the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service by visiting the traveling display from the Wisconsin Historical Society.
Commemorating the centennial of the National Park Service, the traveling display “Wisconsin’s John Muir: An Exhibit Celebrating the Centennial of the National Park Service” explores Muir’s youth in Wisconsin, his advocacy for national parks and his views on environmental issues such as logging, hunting and climate change. Its eight panels share facsimiles of images and manuscripts from the Society’s library and archives alongside Muir quotes and interpretive texts.
The Muir display and reading program is funded by bequests from John A. Peters and the Kenyon and Mary Follett family.
