2025-10-03 17:30 - 19:30 UTC | History Maker Space, 1 S. Pinckney Street (U.S. Bank Plaza), Madison, 53703, United States
What can personal artifacts tell us about generations past, present and future? Discover unforeseen stories hidden within seemingly ordinary objects during this exciting event—bring your personal keepsakes and mementos to share with family, friends and community members as you learn, listen and explore history in an intimate, intergenerational setting.
Gather around a communal table, enjoy some food, and reflect on meaningful family artifacts—perhaps a well-worn recipe card, a treasured photograph, an heirloom piece of jewelry, or any object that carries deeper significance. These personal treasures serve as your gateways to conversation— unlocking memories and narratives that might otherwise remain untold.
Who knows what you might uncover and the links that will be made? Find surprising ties between grandparents and grandchildren, discover interesting parallels between community members of diverse backgrounds and explore the humor, love and connection in sharing cherished family traditions with a larger group.
This special program represents the Wisconsin Historical Society’s ongoing commitment to fostering meaningful connections across generations and between groups of people and organizations. By creating space for authentic storytelling and active listening, we delve into our varied histories while honoring the commonalities that unite us all.
