Wisconsin Hometown Stories, the popular Wisconsin Public Television series focused on Wisconsin community history, has made Oshkosh the focus of its next episode.
For more than a year, producers have been gathering narratives and archival materials to tell the unique history of what was once Wisconsin’s second largest city–Oshkosh.
Prior to its statewide broadcast on WPT’s network later in April, the program will be premiered at the Grand Opera House on April 7, followed up by another showing at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh’s Reeve Memorial Union on April 8.
The UW Oshkosh History Club, the organization hosting the event, hopes students will take advantage of the opportunity to learn more about their adopted “hometown.”
The hour-long program will be shown at 6:30 p.m. at the Reeve Theater. After the program , the show’s producer, David Hestad, will answer questions about making quality and engaging local television. There is no charge to attend this event.
