Lost 50’s
Take a trip back in time to the fabulous 50s in PBS North’s historic documentary. It was an era when drive-ins were all the rage, and a music icon began his legendary journey at a Duluth concert. It was a decade when the Arrowhead region met a major mining challenge, and the region played a strategic role in the Cold War. The 1950s were years of prosperity, as the American way of life revolved around the car, families moved to the suburbs, and television became a part of everyday life. And local milestones included the passing of the last Civil War veteran Albert Woolson, and the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway.

Spring Specials
Shipwrecks!
On the bottom of Wisconsin’s Great Lakes lie the wrecks of over 700 ships. Each one tells a story about the state’s maritime history — the mariners who worked on them, the industries and communities they served, and the dangers of the lakes. Shipwrecks! tells a story of exploration, and takes viewers below the surface to an underwater museum of marvel.
