The Max Kade Institute introduces a new traveling exhibit: “Neighbors Past and Present: The Wisconsin German Experience.” On fourteen panels that draw largely on images and resources from our Library and Archives, the exhibit covers German migration and settlement in Wisconsin, questions of ethnicity and identity in newly forged communities, and the cohesiveness of these communities over the decades, especially in times of economic crisis or war.
This 14-panel display is available anytime during normal library hours. Display panels are located at the beginning of the adult non-fiction collection and continue through the side of the building. Our display cases also feature information and artifacts from the Trinity Freistadt Historical Site.
