Is it redundant to following "As on similar past occasions, Ripple will be served..." with "Formal Wear Not Required"? Maybe! 50 years ago today Luther Allison's Chicago Blues Band played the Madison Nitty Gritty's #NewYearsEve party 🍾 wisconsinhistory.org/Records… #NYE #NYE2020 🍾
There are so many great holiday images you can find in our collections, and a great place to start is our American History Through Christmas Cards image gallery: wisconsinhistory.org/Records… 📸 wihist.org/2EHiYHM

That new Netflix movie MANK (@MankFilm) has put Kenosha's own Orson Welles and CITIZEN KANE back in the news, so here's a truly iconic shot of the visionary director from the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research 🌹🎥🍿 📸 wisconsinhistory.org/Records…

Hope everyone has a safe and happy #TurkeyDay tomorrow. We're #thankful for this truly tremendous (and frankly terrifying) #Thanksgiving image, which turns 55 today! 🦃🔪🎂 📸 wisconsinhistory.org/Records…
There's a great new flamingo mural in #Madison, so here's the @WiStateJournal photo capturing the day that started it all just over 40 years ago! 📸 wisconsinhistory.org/Records…

🦩 There’s a new mural on the corner of Blount and Johnson. “Flamingo Swirls” is a collab by Triangulador and Oh Ya Studio. Design and labor was gifted by the artists as a way to give back to the Madison community. Materials were funded by Madison Public Art Project.
