Description

Our March History Speaks program will be presented by Ben Clark, the archivist and historian at the Marathon County Historical Society. From modern bus lines to the older electric streetcar lines, to the building of a simple sidewalk; the history of public transportation has been the story of the communities that use them. And over Marathon County’s history, the social and literal landscape of our communities have evolved to fit the newest transportation of the day. Ben produces and hosts our weekly History Chats livestreams, and oversees the archives and research library collections. This History Speaks program is presented live at 2pm at the Woodson History Center (410 McIndoe Street, Wausau), in conjunction with the Marathon County Public Library. The presentation will be recorded and available digitally on Facebook and YouTube within a few days of the live program (along with many of our past programs). They are also being played on The Wausau Public Access Channel 980. MCHS is located in the Woodson History Center at 410 McIndoe Street, Wausau, Wisconsin. Exhibit and office hours are Tuesday – Friday 9 am to 4:30 pm and Friday and Saturday 1 pm to 4:30 pm.
