Hmong in America:
Refugees from a Secret War
Chippewa Valley Museum, Eau Claire, WI
Hmong families came to the United States because
they no longer live in their homeland, Laos. From
1961-1975, they fought as American allies in a war that
was, and remains today, virtually unknown to Americans.
The U.S. withdrawal from Southeast Asia left hundreds
of thousands in peril and resulted in a mass exodus to
refugee camps in Thailand and eventual settlement in America
where they began rebuilding their lives as Hmong Americans.

Ethnic
Architecture of Eastern Wisconsin
Cedarburg Cultural Center, Cedarburg, WI
This exhibit documents the way in which European ethnic
communities shaped Wisconsin's built environment.
Black and white photographs examine the German half-timbered
houses, Norwegian log cabins, Luxembourg stone barns,
Polish stovewood outbuildings and many other structures.
These various examples clearly illustrate the different
materials, methods, and styles of construction employed
by early Wisconsin residents to provide homes for their
families, shelter for their livestock, and places to do
business.
