Early French Period the Subject Of DCMM Lecture

The Door County Maritime Museum’s (DCMM) Speaker Series will welcome Patrick Jung, a professor at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, for the Dec. 2 presentation, sponsored by Door County Medical Center.

Jung will discuss recent historical and archaeological research and discoveries regarding the early French period in the western Great Lakes, which have revolutionized our understanding of the French explorers, missionaries and Native people of the area.

A donation of a nonperishable food item is suggested, and those watching online are asked to donate to a local food pantry.
