A Visit from Will Dilg and scenes from Our Mighty Mississippi
October 6th, 2024 at 2:00pm

Steven Marking plays Will Dilg in an inspiring one-man stage production entitled A Visit From
Will Dilg. After suffering from the drowning death of his only son in the early 1920’s, Dilg rose
from the depths of depression to lead an extraordinary national crusade by forming the Izaak
Walton League. Then, with the support of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs of America
they saved a 261-mile stretch of Mississippi River backwaters from drainage for agriculture by

forming a great national preserve, The Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish
Refuge.

Steven Marking’s show Our Mighty Mississippi combines all of his passions: music, the
Mississippi River, storytelling, photography and film making. A world class baritone, he is a
master of all styles of music. The music in the show ranges from “Proud Mary” to “Old Man
River”.

Tickets are $25 per ticket
