Looking down from outer space a vast expanse of blue appears in the heart of North America. Of the magnificent chain of inland seas, only one of those bodies of water—Lake Michigan—is entirely within the boundaries of the United States. Lake Michigan has been uniquely shaped by its relationship with humans, since its geological evolution took place at the same time as Paleo-Indian peoples interacted with the changing environment. Each generation of humans has altered the lake to suit society’s changing needs, dredging harbors, building lighthouses, digging canals and channels, filling in shallows, and obliterating wetlands. This illustrated lecture will tell the story of the ever-escalating and divergent demands Americans have placed on Lake Michigan, how the lake’s ecosystem responded to those changes, and how together they have shaped the modern American Midwest.

<strong>About Dr. Ted Karamakski</strong>

SUMMARY:Curiosity Cafe: Invented in Evanston: Fun and Games
DESCRIPTION:<strong>Lunchtime Curiosity Cafe</strong>

<strong>Second Wednesday of the month from 1-2pm (*NEW TIME*).</strong>

<strong>at the Evanston History Center, 225 Greenwood St.</strong>

<strong>FREE, no RSVP needed.</strong>

Come to the Dawes House for coffee, lunch, and informal conversation around a variety of unique Evanston History topics. Feel free to bring a brown bag lunch; coffee and tea will be provided.

<strong>September's topic is Fun and Games invented in Evanston. </strong>

Based on our recent holiday exhibits, “It’s All Fun and Games,” and in time to compliment the new Evanston Children’s Games mural on Sherman Ave and Greenwood St., Evanston History Center curator/historian Kris Hartzell will share the backstories of Tinkertoys, Operation, Lite Brite, and more fun that has come out of Evanston.

Weather permitting, we’ll take a short walk to the mural after the talk. FREE, no RSVP needed.

<strong>PLEASE NOTE: Beginning on September 9, we are moving our Curiosity Cafe time to 1-2pm to better accommodate street parking restrictions. </strong>
