Quote from Hibler & Kappen:
Medal commemorates 100th anniversary as territory, not statehood, Wisconsin having been admitted to the Union May 29, 1848. Legislature created Wisconsin Centennial Inc. 1933 with $500 appropriation, later increased. Celebration was state wide, highlight being presentation of pageant, "Centennial Cavalcade of Wisconsin," in the stadium of University of Wisconsin, Madison, June 27-July 5, 1936; "witnessed by at least 75,000 spectators."
This was official medal, sponsored and designed by Commission, 1500 pieces struck in Bronze, sold for $1.
