2026-06-18 11:30 - 12:30 | Minocqua Public Library, 415 Menominee Street, Suite 100, Minocqua, 54548, United States
This program offers an engaging and educational journey into the world of our prehistoric ancestors. Utilizing museum-quality replicas of fossils and artifacts, “The Mammoth Hunters” immerses participants in a reenactment of a woolly mammoth hunt that occurred in Wisconsin nearly 15,000 years ago.
Throughout this experience, participants will explore the challenges and triumphs of Ice Age survival. The program delves into the ecosystems of the period, introducing participants to the giant predators and remarkable survival skills that allowed our ancestors to thrive.
Demonstrations of prehistoric technologies – including the use of atlatls (spear throwers), fire by friction, and prehistoric musical instruments – provide a hands-on look at the ingenuity of our ancestors. The program concludes with a Q&A session and a close-up viewing of the display, offering a unique photo opportunity and a chance for further exploration.
