November will feature a one-man performance on the life of Petersen, performed by Iowa actor Tom Milligan and written by Iowa playwright Cindy Mercati. Milligan is an award-winning actor who has performed in hundreds of plays across the state. The exhibit will culminate with a celebration of Danish traditions. Danish cookies, folk dancing and crafts will be featured. A guided tour of the exhibition also will be offered in December.
All events are free and open to the public.
