UW-P museum opens

PLATTEVILLE, Wis. -- Historical displays, information and archives from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville can be found on the ground floor of Ullsvik Hall in the Luce Center museum.

"The goal of the museum is to give everyone who comes through an understanding of what UW-P was and where it is going. It tells the story of UW-P's history and that of Southwest Wisconsin," said James Hibbard, museum designer.

One of the museum's displays is a lectern that John F. Kennedy used during a visit to UW-P in 1959.

The museum is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no fee to enter the museum. For more information regarding the museum, contact Hibbard at 608-342-1229 or hibbardj@uwplatt.edu.
