Ancient Canoe Caches of Wisconsin
Algonquin - main floor Fri 4:30pm-5:15pm
Bear - upstairs Sun 1:30pm-2:15pm
In May 2024, the Wisconsin Historical Society announced the discovery of up to 11 ancient canoes in Lake Mendota, Madison, Wisconsin ranging back to 4,500 years ago. The canoes were found submerged in what archaeologists believe was once an ancient shoreline. Caching, or the sinking of dugout canoes to store them during the winter, was a common practice in the past and such cached canoe have been found in other lakes and rivers throughout Wisconsin. Learn what to look for and what to do when you find cached canoes and help us document these rare Indigenous heritage resources.
