Internship: Neville Public Museum
This blog will act as my means to record my experiences at the Neville Public Museum. I will be working as an Intern there from January until May of 2008 to satisfy my requirments through the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay as well as my own academic development as this will allow me to work outside of the classroom. I will post a brief summary of my activities after each day of work and use this to reflect on my experiences.
About Me
I am finishing my fourth year at the University of Wisconsin at Green Bay. I will be graduating this Spring with a B.A. in History. I plan on attending Graduate School shortly thereafter. I am currently working on a research project which examines the evolution of America's "beer culture" over the last 30 years.

I began my day by cutting and laying down padded matting for a bayonet assault course that is going to be in the WWI exhibit. It is where children can use a rifle-silhouetted object with a foam ball at the end and practice bayonet techniques on a dummy. I then helped Bob with some WWI signs for the exhibit. I cut out squares of foamboard and he used them to pad the signs and framed them. Later on that morning, a Howitzer arrived from the National Guard Armory in Two Rivers. This is the same model as the one in WWI, and I think it might have even seen action there. When I cmae back after class I cut smaller sections of foamboard and framed smaller signs for the exhibit.
