Harry Nohr was admired and respected throughout his life not only as a remarkable man and citizen, but also as a dedicated and accomplished conservationist and bowl maker. He was described by friends as being "a true countryman, a species almost extinct," "the most civilized man in Wisconsin," and even, "one of nature's most delightful creations." Our display honors the namesake of our gallery and includes photos, artifacts, history and some of his works of art.
