Think & Drink – Lady Lighthouse Keeper: The Extraordinary Life & Times of Georgia Green Stebbins
November 7 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Please join the Wisconsin Maritime Museum on November 7th at 6:30pm for our Think & Drink series presentation “Lady Lighthouse Keeper: The Extraordinary Life & Times of Georgia Green Stebbins” with Ken and Barb Wardius. The featured drink of the night will be Dark and Stormy.
Georgia Green Stebbins was a sickly young woman from New York City when she came to the North Point Lighthouse in Milwaukee in the mid-1800s to help her ailing lighthouse keeper father. She ended up being an exemplary lady lighthouse keeper in an era when that was an uncommon profession for women. Georgia was the longest tenured keeper at North Point. Join Ken and Barb Wardius, authors of books like Wisconsin Lighthouses and North Point Lighthouse, as they shine a light on Georgia’s incredible story.
Alcohol and nonalcoholic drinks will be available for purchase at the limited bar.
Doors and bar open at 6:00 pm. The talk and live stream portion begin at 6:30 pm. To access the live stream of this event, please register here: https://forms.gle/ukjMhjzKi1XuhDuq7
