The Berlin Area Historical Society started a Chatauqua series this fall that
went over very well. Two members of the Historical Society presented the
lectures
with a slide show of photos from our collection related to the subject being
presented that night. We then opened the floor to questions, remembrances
etc.
They lasted about an hour and a half to 2 hours. We intend to repeat the
"lecture" series next fall perhaps with guest lecturers (the details have
not all been
worked out yet). We coordinated the project with one of the local churches
who provided the space for the programs. Their members also provided
refreshments
after to continue the discussions in smaller groups. This was a money maker
for both parties and we were pleased with the results.

You have an interesting idea there. We will have to keep that in mind. If
you purchase the DVD that the other society mentioned, I'd be interested to
know what you think of it.
I would also be interested in how you implemented your discussion group.
Have you tried something like this before?

Subject: Wisiconsin history DVD
I would appreciate knowledge of a DVD produced by Wisconsin Historical
Society on the history of Wisconsin that would be appropriate for an adult
study group.
We have realized that senior citizens enjoy group discussions that are
informational, require no textbook investment, etc. A good group leader is
all that is required. Thank you, Barbara Pforr (Franklin Historical
Society)
