Please note that we have divided up the day for families and children in the morning until 1:00 and then for adults who want a bit of a quieter experience in the afternoon. Learn more.

The Winona Arts Center is proud to host the World Premier of A Visit From Will Dilg, a new movie created by local riverlorian, Steven Marking. Cost is $10 and the creator and actor in the film will be available for Q & A after the screening. Marking plays Will Dilg in an inspiring, one-man movie. Will Dilg and his wife spent their summers on a houseboat in Winona, Minnesota. After suffering from the drowning death of his son in the early 1920’s, Dilg rose from the depths of depression to lead an extraordinary national crusade to form the Izaak Walton League, then with the support of the Women’s Clubs of America they saved a 261 mile stretch of Mississippi River backwaters from drainage for agriculture. We now know this stretch of river as the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge, and this year marks the Centennial of that event. Learn more.
