History Sandwiched In: Ole Evinrude and His Outboard Motor
Ole Evinrude changed the way people play and travel on the water when he invented the world's first practical outboard motor. Join author Bob Jacobson as he traces Ole's story from the launch of his first hand-made boat on Lake Ripley to his legacy as a giant of Wisconsin industry. A book signing will follow the presentation.
