SUMMARY:Schoonmaker Reef
DESCRIPTION:2024 Speaker Series\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin us for the first Speaker Series event of 2024 where Donald Mikulic\, curator at the Weis Earth Science Museum in Menasha\, will delve into the fascinating history of the Schoonmaker Reef. \n\n\n\nDid you know Wauwatosa boasts an ancient reef dating back 425 million years to the Silurian Period\, when most of North America was submerged in a tropical sea? In 1862\, geologist James Hall marked a distinctive rock mound at Schoonmaker Quarry as a textbook example of an ancient reef and potentially the first fossil reef in North America—and possibly the world. \n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the 1830s\, individuals discovered substantial dolomite mounds in the walls of the Menomonee River valley. This led to the establishment of quarries for limestone extraction\, quickly evolving into a significant industry. In the same era\, Increase Allen Lapham\, a self-taught geologist and minerologist\, initiated a study of local geology and the Wauwatosa quarries. Comparing fossils from these quarries with those in the Niagara Escarpment of western New York\, Lapham commenced correspondence with James Hall\, who subsequently published their research. \n\n\n\n\n\nBuilding stone quarry in Niagara dolomite at Wauwatosa\n\n\n\n\n\nWhile Lapham was the initial fossil collector at the quarry\, it was Dr. Fisk Holbrook Day who significantly elevated its prominence. A physician for Milwaukee County institutions and an amateur geologist\, Dr. Day constructed the impressive Dr. Fisk Holbrook Day House\, also known as Sunnyhill Home\, at 8000 West Milwaukee Avenue in 1874—in part to house his growing collection of paleontological artifacts. For over two decades\, Dr. Day was nearly the sole collector of fossils at the Schoonmaker Quarry\, granting him the privilege to choose specimens freely. The collection grew so vast he dedicated a room at Sunnyhill to accommodate it. In 1880\, he sold the majority of his fossil collection\, and it found a new home at Harvard University’s Museum of Comparative Zoology. Dr. Day shipped 8\,265 pounds of specimens to Harvard as part of this transfer. \n\n\n\nTo learn more about the history of the reef\, register for the speaker series event. Though Speaker Series event registration is free to members\, registration is still required.  \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:History Mystery Event
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the highly anticipated return of our captivating murder mystery event – The Walker Family Mystery!  \n\n\n\nDust off your magnifying glasses and brush up on your sleuthing skills\, Mystery Nights are coming back to the historic Kneeland Walker House in February! This all-new\, spine-tingling\, murder-mystery event was written by Wauwatosa East Theatre Director Colleen Jaskulski and features student members of the Tosa East Players. \n\n\n\nThe show takes you back in time to Jan. 28\, 1947\, when a massive snowstorm hit Wauwatosa. The Walker children are all back home together for the first time since their mother passed away. But what was supposed to be an evening of fun and reminiscing turns into an overnight stay as the snowstorm traps them all in the house.  \n\n\n\nAn already freezing night becomes even more chilling when one of the siblings discovers the housekeeper dead! Will you be able to follow the clues and help the Walkers figure out who did it? You’ll get a chance to guess\, and if you’re right\, you’ll be entered into a pool to win a prize!  \n\n\n\nThis year\, we are delighted to present five performances; 7:30 pm performances on February 15th\, 16th\, 17th\, 23rd\, and 24th. \n\n\n\n\n\nTickets are available at $65 for the public; WHS Members receive a 15% discount.
