My husband and I are among the Wisconsin area presenters on this list.
In our work at the Milwaukee Soldiers Home, we have contact info with
reenactors from every era of American History. www.rohmilwaukee.org Our
free event, May 31-June 1, is a great place to make connections for your
own events.

If there are others who would like to compile a list of local history
presenters, I would suggest that you send a list of names and contact
information, along with a brief description, to the list serve. I can
compile the list and make it available to those who are interested.
There are a few other options for finding speakers and new ideas for
programs, too.
1. A list of WI folk artists can be found on the Arts Board website:
http://artsboard.wisconsin.gov/static/folkdir/index.htm
2. Wisconsin Humanities Council Speakers Bureau information can be
found here:
http://www.wisconsinhumanities.org/speakers.html
3. Visit http://www.portalwisconsin.org/ to post or browse events, and
locate resources state-wide.

Just had an idea after reading the invitation to meet Mary Todd Lincoln in New Berlin. Could we compile a directory of such people willing to travel to speak at our events? This could also include groups such as Civil War, Voyageur/Fur Traders, etc. Pat at pioneer Village
