Wonderlust Friday Forum with Lee Whittlesey

Lee H. Whittlesey, recently retired after a 50-year career with Yellowstone Park, will present “The 10 Top Events in the History of Yellowstone National Park.” His discussion covers decisions on wildlife management, fire control, and human activities that have helped make Yellowstone what it is today. Whittlesey has served as park archivist, ranger, tour guide and, in recent decades, as park historian. He is author of numerous books and articles on Yellowstone, and worked with Ken Burns on The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. He received an honorary doctorate from MSU in 2014.
This forum is part of Our Yellowstone, a unique series of arts and cultural programming, speakers, and exhibits in celebration of our First National Park.
