Our Yellowstone is a unique series of arts and cultural programming, speakers, and exhibits in celebration of our First National Park. Lee H. Whittlesey, recently retired after a 50-year career with the Park, will present “The 10 Top Events in the History of Yellowstone National Park.” He will be discussing decisions on wildlife management, fire control, and human activities that have helped make Yellowstone what it is today. Lee has served as Park Archivist, Ranger, Tour Guide, and in recent decades as Park Historian. He is author of numerous books and articles on Yellowstone, and worked with Ken Burns on The National Parks: America’s Best Idea. He received an honorary doctorate from MSU in 2014.
