Well this is a cool piece of Wisconsin history. A shipwreck hunter just discovered a 150-year-old luxury liner resting in Lake Michigan off Wisconsin’s coast. The Great Lakes keep receipts… they just wait a century to show them. ⚓️ #WisconsinHistory #GreatLakes #Shipwreck #LakeMichigan #Wisconsin
Lloyd Barbee didn’t ask Wisconsin nicely to desegregate its schools—he sued.
In 1965, his case forced Milwaukee to confront segregation it pretended didn’t exist.
Progress here has always been lawyered into existence.

Milwaukee, 1854: Joshua Glover was seized under the Fugitive Slave Act and locked up to be shipped back into slavery. A crowd broke him out of jail and helped move him to Canada—Wisconsin choosing resistance over compliance. #WisconsinHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #Milwaukee #UndergroundRailroad

Wisconsin became a U.S. territory in 1836 and achieved statehood in 1848, just a few years after Wales was founded!
Today, the village still honors its Welsh roots - from its name to local traditions that celebrate its unique heritage.

A sepia-toned, hazy historical-style scene of women and young girls working in a kitchen or institutional setting. The women, all wearing light-colored dresses and aprons, are engaged in tasks like washing, mixing, or holding bowls. Two small blonde-haired girls in similar dresses stand beside the women, one tugging gently on a woman’s apron. The overall atmosphere is dim, soft-focused, and somber, evoking an early 20th-century institutional environment. Altered from this image: https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Image/IM99239
Between 1913–1963, 1,800+ Wisconsinites were forcibly sterilized under state eugenics laws.

Mysteriously belching neither smoke nor steam, the Ahnapee & Western #251 crosses Silver Creek at Algoma, WI in this detail from a fine mural in that town. When I was a small boy I thought steam engines were alive, like dragons.

Love me some local #WisconsinHistory, and a #UWSP student from Colby (yes, like the cheese) built a great
