Who were the hidden and surprising history makers that defined state and national history? What do a barrier-breaking photojournalist, a renowned educator and a protector of the environment have in common? In August, visitors will discover these answers—and more—through a series of pop-up portraits located within and around the shops, cultural institutions, and public spaces of State Street. As you spot them, follow the QR codes to learn about each maker and their unique contributions to their fields, communities and our larger Wisconsin story.
Want a special challenge? Locate every portrait and identify all of our history makers to complete the scavenger hunt booklet – available at the Wisconsin Historical Society Headquarters building (816 State Street) or the Downtown Madison Visitor Center during business hours. The Pop-Up Portrait Experience: Inspiring and Surprising Wisconsin History Makers is part of the larger History Makers Tour and other affiliated programs, including a talk, a hands-on fashion maker program, and a D & D gaming session will be offered throughout the month.
