April is Hmong Heritage Month in Wisconsin, a time to reflect on sacrifices the Hmong people have made in service to our country and to celebrate the vibrant, resilient, and diverse culture of Hmong Wisconsinites as an important part of our state’s identity.
You can celebrate by exploring fascinating stories of Hmong visionaries, changemakers, and storytellers with ties to Wisconsin, at the Wisconsin Historical Museum's temporary exhibit, "Hmong in Wisconsin."
