Bringing History to Life: Tour the galleries with Badgerdog writer and teaching artist Amanda North. We’ll explore and discuss a selection of artifacts on display and try to imagine what certain people and objects in history witnessed, felt, and fought for (even inanimate objects like a cowboy spur or a prospector’s hat)! We’ll then write “persona” pieces that bring these objects from history to life.
