History Chats: The Schools of Marathon County

History Chats: The Schools of Marathon County

For the first few weeks of our History Chats program, Librarian Gary Gisselman took us on a week-by-week trip through the school history of Marathon County. Gary originally planned on sharing the history of the schools as one larger presentation for our History Speaks lecture series, which was unfortunately canceled due to the start of the COVID-19 measures. And so rather than let his research and preparation go to waste, it was repurposed for the first few weeks of the History Chats. From September 2020.
