1-9 Wisconsin Historic Preservation Week and Archaeology Week
May 1-9, 2004, "New Frontiers in Preservation"

This weeklong celebration was created in 1971 to spotlight grassroots preservation efforts around the country. It has grown into an annual celebration observed from small towns to big cities, with events ranging from tours, reenactments, special exhibits and demonstrations.
Each May, Wisconsin celebrates Historic Preservation and Archaeology Week. During this week, many local regional events are planned to promote historic and prehistoric places for the purposes of instilling community pride, promoting heritage tourism and showcasing the social and economic benefits of historic preservation.
Wisconsin's Historic Preservation Week is sponsored by the Wisconsin Historical Society, Wisconsin's Heritage Tourism Program, the Wisconsin Trust for Historic Preservation, Wisconsin Main Street and the Wisconsin Association of Historic Preservation Commissions.

23-24 "WHO OWNS America? IV:  Land Acquisition and Retention"
On the University of Wisconsin-Madison Campus, Madison, WI.
This conference is fourth in a series established in 1995 by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Land Tenure Center's North American Program. 
This fourth conference addresses land acquisition and retention issues such as fractionation (heir property), land titling, inheritance, and management.  The focus is on those who are often excluded, marginalized, unequally served, or have limited participation in setting public policy. 
The conference Agenda is grounded in the growing realization that problems experienced in specific communities are not necessarily unique, and that all communities and peoples can benefit from learning how others are meeting the challenge of land acquisition and retention.
