The Wisconsin Historical Society Speakers Bureau offers an exciting opportunity for our historians, curators and authors to visit your community and share the stories of our great state.

Join the Aram Public Library to learn more about what was it like to live on a large estate on Geneva Lake during the Gilded Age. This presentation gives a brief overview of summer life focusing on the Seipp family of Chicago family who built Black Point in 1888.

A photographic slide show will include seldom seen images of the Geneva Lake area from the Seipp photograph collection.
