Robert E. Gard Memorial Storyteller's Circle

Robert E. Gard (1910-1992) wrote, spoke, taught, and lived the Wisconsin Idea through community arts development. Convinced everyone has a story to tell, he envisioned a Wisconsin in which everyone wrote, painted, danced, acted or sang their story. His own writing captured Wisconsin's "sense of place" and history, and influenced national and international audiences.

This Storyteller's Circle honors his work and invites future generations of story tellers.

Marker can be reached from Observatory Drive, on the right when traveling west.
