Background: Following the PBS Wisconsin; Hometown Series episode about Beloit, we are excited to announce a new series of insightful small group discussions entitled “𝙃𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙣𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨: 𝙂𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙐𝙥 𝙞𝙣 𝘽𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙞𝙩”. This series explores the rich and diverse cultural history of Beloit through the personal life experiences of its residents beginning with three ethnic groups: African, Irish and Italian Americans. If you wish to help organize a talk related to a specific group, please contact BHS.

Using an interview format, special guests will share nostalgic memories of what growing up in Beloit was like in their particular ethnic group. Audience members will be encouraged to ask questions and to share their own experiences as we celebrate our unique ways of growing up in Beloit. Whether you are a longtime resident or new to the community, these conversations will offer valuable insights into the rich tapestry of Beloit’s History.

For more information, please contact Donna Langford at 608 365-7835, or [email protected].
