Our History, the modern history of the land our community stands on.

Bob Blazich is the President of the Mequon-Thiensville Historical Society.  Bob is not a historian, but he is a storyteller who has a very interesting story to tell.

In a fast-paced presentation, Bob will share the modern history of the land our community stands on.  Bob’s story will start about 400 years ago when our community’s land was claimed by both Virginia and Quebec.  You will learn why Chicago is part of Illinois, why the UP is not part of Wisconsin, and what part Thomas Jefferson played in the title of your home’s legal description.  You will also learn why the Town of Mequon rushed to become a city, and why our main roads are exactly one mile apart.
