Curator of Education

Adam Michalski volunteered at and worked at several museums in San Antonio, Texas, from 2009-2014, including Casa Navarro State Historic Site, The Steves Homestead House Museum, and the Institute of Texan Cultures. In 2009 Adam graduated with a MA in History from the University of Missouri – St. Louis. His master’s thesis entitled Unfulfilled Promise: Electrification and the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad focused on the Milwaukee Road’s attempt to harness electric motive power primarily for economic savings instead of operating characteristics. In previous years, Adam was a member of the Railway & Locomotive Historical Society, the St. Louis Mercantile Library, and the Western History Association. Adam is originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and has lived throughout the Midwest, Texas, and Alaska in recent years. He is excited to make Carson City home and looks forward to contributing at the Museum and getting to know the volunteers.
