There will be 2 Virtual Programs offered in May!
The Birdman of Koshkonong May 6 (Thursday) at 6:00
On Thursday, May 6 at 6:00pm CST, Martha Bergland will be with us virtually to discuss her biography about Thure Kumlien, one of Wisconsin's most influential naturalists.
Thure Kumlien was one of Wisconsin’s earliest Swedish settlers and an accomplished ornithologist, botanist, and naturalist in the mid-1800s, though his name is not well known today. He settled on the shore of Lake Koshkonong in 1843 and soon began sending bird specimens to museums and collectors in Europe and the eastern United States, including the Smithsonian. Later, he prepared natural history exhibits for the newly established University of Wisconsin and became the first curator and third employee of the new Milwaukee Public Museum. Register here!
