Hungry
for History: Odd Wisconsin with Author Erika
Janik While Bob La Follette’s exploits as leader of progressive politics are legendary, his early morning exertions to save valuable government documents, and paintings during the disastrous 1904 Capitol fire are largely unknown - until now. Erika Janik will share some fun and surprising stories of the people, places, and events of Wisconsin’s past that you didn’t learn in school.
