Eric Carson ...
The Ferryville Tourism Council announces its second Chautauqua program of the 2019 Summer Series. Wednesday, July 10 at 6:30 p.m. in the Ferryville Village Hall, a program on the geology of the Upper Mississippi and Lower Wisconsin Rivers will be presented.
Featured presenter Eric Carson, a geologist from the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey based in Madison, WI for over 11 years, specializes in studying the Driftless area of southwest Wisconsin. He is eager to share his research and will have interesting information and stories about how the formation of the Driftless Area is very unique and was formed by the rivers carving out a path through the bedrock. He will also share geologic history, how the rivers came to be where they are, and types of rock found along the rivers.
Treats will be provided as well. Those who have questions may contact Joanne White at 608-734-9018 or visit www.facebook.com/ferryvillewi.
The third and final program of the Chautauqua program of the 2019 Summer Series is scheduled for Wednesday, August 14. Bob O’Connor will be speaking about Dennis Mahan, a West Point instructor prior to the Civil War.
