| Abstract | On May 6, 1857, nine years after Wisconsin became a state, a group of Milwaukee citizens got together to found the 'Naturhistorischer Verein fuer Wisconsin,' the 'Wisconsin Natural History Society.' In 1882 the society's collections were accepted by the city of Milwaukee and these formed the basis of the Milwaukee Public Museum, established in 1884. |
