Fall Potpourri I
September 12 – America’s Dairyland at the Crossroads
Journalists from Milwaukee PBS and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel will discuss their documentary on Wisconsin’s dairy industry, “America’s Dairyland at the Crossroads.” They will explain how this documentary came about, what it takes to produce an hour long documentary, the challenges faced during a pandemic and how a film like this gets from field to broadcast.
September 19 – History of the Hefter Center
Beginning in 1911 as a grand mansion housing the Schlesinger family on Milwaukee’s Lake Drive, change has been part of this building’s life. From those days as a residence, to time as a UWM women’s dormitory and then as a conference center, it has changed with the times while maintaining its architectural grace and style. The class will examine the creation of this building, its place among the grand houses of Lake Drive and how its use has changed over time.
