Program Description

Event Details

Step back to a time when a visit to a Wisconsin gas station meant service with a smile, a wash of the windshield, and the cheerful question, "Fill 'er up?"  Author Jim Draeger will tell the story of the gas station's place in automobile culture and its evolution in tandem with American history.  Enjoy this nostalgic look at 60 of Wisconsin's historic (and still standing) stations, and consider their place in the 21st century and beyond.
