November 12, 1971, Twin City News-Record
Books! Slides! Reel-to-reel tape recorders! Butte des Morts eighth grade students use the tools of their time to research and learn from Menasha local history. As it was stated in this 1971 story, Menasha students didn't know their local history. But the interest I see reflected in inquiries to this blog for the last seven years, as well as the commentary on the Facebook groups tells me the generation featured in the article above (and many others) has carried their interests in local history forward to today. So...maybe education DOES have a lasting effect?
