Centennial Trilogy   In 1996, Chris Reed began what we now call the Centennial Trilogy for Waukesha's 100th Birthday. Little did Chris know that with the first video, Renaissance of a Village, he would end up covering all of Waukesha's history. The Centennial Trilogy has been a very popular video series since 1996 when it first aired on Channel 25. Over the years it has helped many Waukesha citizens understand Waukesha's complex history. Renaissance of a Village is the first video in the Centennial Trilogy. It takes the Village of Prarieville up to The City of Waukesha until the end of the spring's era in the early part of the 1900's. The City's New Horizon looks at Waukesha during WWI as well as many other topics. The final video in the Centennial Trilogy, A Changing Perspective, covers Waukesha's history from Morris Cutler settling in Waukesha up to present day Waukesha of 62,00 people. A Changing Perspective included many interviews with Waukesha citizens that fought in World War II, work at The Waukesha Civic Theatre, and many local historians. |
