About this event
Description
We'll kick off the day by stepping back in time to explore the historic effigy mound landscapes. Our guide will be the former Wisconsin State Archaeologist, Bob Birmingham, who will illuminate the spiritual and cultural significance of these fascinating, ancient earthworks built by Native Americans. We will have a buffet lunch at the iconic Old Fashioned Restaurant downtown. Savor a true taste of Wisconsin with a spread that includes salad, mac & cheese, Sheboygan Bratwursts and shaved Prime Rib. Next we'll head to the UW Arboretum. We'll begin with a compelling historical presentation indoors, setting the stage for the beauty awaiting us outside. Then, join a Naturalist for a short, refreshing Garden Walk, where you'll discover the diverse flora. We'll conclude our day with a stop at Babcock Dairy where we will take a peek from the observation deck to watch the magic happen. Best of all, your day ends with a scoop of ice cream!
