In commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary, the Sheboygan County Museum's annual speaker series will explore how the United States of America became the home of many different people from around the world. Often referred to as a “melting pot,” America holds countless groups with their own story, one that shapes how they define home and how they view citizenship. These four lectures highlight the unifying facts that home is important, home is personal, and home is worth the work. $5 public, free for members, pre-registration strongly encouraged
