Gallery Talk - Five Medals: His Life and TImes

Join Mike Judson, historian, as he presents a Gallery Talk called "Five Medals: His Life and Times." Five Medals was a leader of the Elkhart River Potawatomi in the late 1700s and early 1800s, fighting and negotiating for the peace and safety of his people. Judson is also the organizer of Five Medals at the Trace, an annual week-long historical reenactment in Ligonier, Indiana.

This Gallery Talk was presented at Ruthmere on Friday, February 2nd, 2024.

Ruthmere presents Gallery Talks the first week of each month, which feature a twenty-minute discussion on an object/artwork within the Ruthmere collection, a person or event in local history, or a topic from the Victorian/Edwardian eras. 2024 Gallery Talks are free and open to the public. This Gallery Talk was sponsored by Karen Nicholson and Ann Wroblewski.
