A History of Immigration in Southwest WisconsinSunday, February 15, 2:30pm Mineral Point Odd Fellows Lodge (112 Front Street)
Migration is an ongoing process. It began in the 18th century when many eastern Native Nations pushed into Ho-Chunk lands. Then the rush for lead ore caused American and immigrants to come to our region. Some of them brought free and enslaved Black workers. Learn about the many groups that came to this area and about the migrants who have come recently- the Amish and Spanish-speaking peoples. Our corner of the state has always been a place of great diversity of people, languages, and religions. Join Tracey Lee Roberts, UW-P Senior Lecturer Emeritus, for a fascinating look at the history of migration in Southwest Wisconsin.
