  • Wisconsin Topic Ideas for National History Day Research
    Wisconsin Topic Ideas for National History Day Research General Topic Ideas for Students Interested in Exploring the History of Our State National History Day in Wisconsin Updated: Summer 2010 1 A Warning for All Researchers! What follows is a very GENERAL list of topic ideas for you to consider. This list is by no means complete or exhaustive of Wisconsin history. There are many, many more fantastic topics to consider! These topics are NOT THEME SPECIFIC. You will need to take a closer look at each potential topic and consider how it fits with the annual theme for NHD. This is a general list. All the topics listed in this book WILL NOT fit the annual theme. Selecting a topic from this list does not guarantee a WINNING PROJECT. Selecting a topic is just the first step. You will need to follow through with good research, a strong argument, and a clear presentation. Selecting a topic from this list isn’t the final step. Many of these topics need to be further NARROWED in order for them to be a suitable National History Day project. Why Choose a Wisconsin Topic? The National History Day program doesn’t have any requirements or give you any advantage in choosing a Wisconsin topic. Wisconsin history, however, is full of great ideas for your History Day project. It is easy to overlook the history right around us, but your National History Day project can help you to find these amazing local stories that helped shape your history! Armed with local resources and strong research, you can become an authority on your topic and your project could be more competitive than a topic that many other students across the state or nation could choose.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION THE AREA The area in which the nominated property is located is today a mix of single family houses, rooming houses, twentieth century apartment buildings and post-World War II apartment buildings as well as a large facility for the Wisconsin Telephone Company. The north boundary of the neighborhood is State Street, a commercial and traffic thoroughfare and the south boundary is Wisconsin Avenue, likewise a commercial and traffic thoroughfare that was once lined with mansions. Buildings vary as to size and historic integrity although setbacks from the street are consistent. Some blocks have alleys, others do not. Most of the residential buildings are two and on-half story in height, made of frame construction but there is the occasional masonry building. Houses that have been rehabilitated show many of the details associated with the Queen Anne Style and display decorative shingles, bay windows, oriels and spindled 1 porches. The early twentieth century apartment buildings show either classical revival details or prairie style elements.

    Volume 28 Issue 3 Jackson Historical Society November 2020 POLITICAL SHENANIGANS IN HISTORIC WISCONSIN After Wisconsin became a territory in 1836 and a State in 1848, development continued in earnest. The state had functioned for a num- ber of years with a kind of split personality. The southwest part of the state was industrialized around lead mining, with people arriving up the Mississippi River from the south, seeking their fortune. Cornish immi- grants arrived to work the underground lead mines, giving the state it’s future nickname, Badger. Meanwhile, immigrants arriving in the Wisconsin Territory by ship often settled around the various Lake Michigan ports as that was where Jackson Historical Society Museum commerce was concentrated and many of the jobs were.
