NORML is dedicated to reforming Cannabis laws in Wisconsin for a safer and brighter future for all our citizens and businesses in our state. Cannabis can be used safely and responsibly by adults, and our laws can be reformed to allow harm reduction and compassion to all users, while at the same time, offering our state a new revenue generating industry. Collected taxes and saved criminal justice costs can get reallocated to new schools, teachers, hospitals, police, and public health, so all of Wisconsin can benefit from a more responsible public policy.

What was Appleton like during the Progressive Era (1850 – 1920)? The turn of the century was a period of speculation and excitement. Americans felt the excitement of world fairs and new technologies entering their daily lives. This new exhibit at the History Museum hinges on Appleton’s evolution from a fledgling manufacturing town to a modern industrial center. Through a collection of 3,000 photographs, amateur photographer W.D. Schlafer captured this rapidly changing environment during the Progressive Era in the Fox Cities. Visitors will see how much Appleton and the Fox Cities evolved as new technologies and ideas changed the lives of area residents during this transformative period.
