About the Event

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.

Both sturgeon spearing and ice fishing are popular wintertime activities in Wisconsin. Nowadays, around 14 million fish are caught via ice fishing annually. Records are set every year, but people also have an eye on the future with conservation efforts for threatened species underway. Learn more about the tools that fishermen like Fond du Lac enthusiast Bill Casper have used and the big hauls they’ve reeled in through the images, activities, and objects here on display!

The History Makers Tour is presented by Culver's.
