“The desire to reach for the stars is ambitious. The desire to reach hearts is wise.”
- Maya Angelou, American Author & Poet

Diving Into Deep Space

With the exception of dogs, Native people in the Great Lakes region had no domesticated animals, so they depended on their own power for transportation.

Walking was the most common way of moving, and personal possessions were limited largely to what the people could carry themselves.

Explore the fens, forests, oak barrens, and meadows of Wisconsin, then visit the Birds of Wisconsin display with more than 75 mounted specimens of rare and common birds.

Mounted Wisconsin mammals are also on display. In addition, visitors can explore the habitats of Wisconsin's Woodland Indians, and see excellent examples of porcupine quillwork, beadwork, weaving, and other crafts.

Cosmic Curiosities

“I'll toss my coins in the fountain
Look for clovers in grassy lawns
Search for shooting stars in the night
Cross my fingers and dream on.”
