Join us for our March 2025 Lunch and Learn

The Story of Frederick Stanton Perkins and his Archaeological Collection from Wisconsin

Presented by Grace Pelisek

Please join Grace Pelisek, UWM Anthropology Masters Student, as she presents her thesis on Frederick Stanton Perkins and his Archaeological Collection from Wisconsin. Frederick Stanton Perkins (1832-1899) was a pioneer resident of Burlington, Wisconsin, and a trained portrait and landscape artist. He had a voracious appetite for collecting, at one time amassing the largest collection of Wisconsin archaeological artifacts and Native copper. His collection is currently spread out between the Wisconsin State Historical Society, the Milwaukee Public Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, and Beloit College's Logan Museum of Anthropology.
