History of Green Bay - Part 1 - Aerial Tour Through Time

Need drone footage shot for your project or website? Visit: whitepinedronography.com/
Although Green Bay is most famous because of the Green Bay Packers, it has an incredible early history starting hundreds of years before the Packers existed. This video is an epic history of Green Bay Wisconsin, from the Fur Trade in French Wisconsin, through the mid 1800s.
To tell the story, I use historic sites that are still around, and use a DJI Air 2s drone to get aerial footage.
Historic places included the Tank Cottage and original buildings from Fort Howard, both of which are located in Heritage Hill State Park. Also included are Historic Hazelwood House (the home of Morgan Martin), the Church of St John the Evangelist, and sites from around the city.

Just a side note the oldest building is called Tank Cottage. It was moved from it's original location on the west side formerly Fort Howard to Heritage Hill State park. Also a little fun note there is still one building left from the original Fort Howard in its original place. It is a gate house on what's now Broadway It is a small shop and apartments now.

I'm not a Wisconsinite (is that how you call people from Wisconsin?), but I love your videos! I'm into architecture, so that's how I found some of your videos. I'm hooked! Greetings from your next door neighbor, Illinois!

[@placesofthepast]

Awesome, glad you appreciate this kind of thing as well! Yes, it’s Wisconsinite - although if I ever can make it work I’d love to make videos about some Illinois sites!

C'mon up I'll give you a tour! There's a lot to see. And if you're a Bears fan I won't put you through the Packers History. 😊

Our Wisconsin history is so amazing. So proud to have been born in Milwaukee. What an amazing history we have in this great state of Wisconsin. ❤

I’m always thankful for inspiring history teachers, like you! This is excellent! It’s a great day to learn something new. 😀

Another excellent video! Great drone work! You also make great use of visual effects (After Effects?), both with text and with the dividing line between the old towns of Navarino and Astor.

[@placesofthepast]

Thank you for the compliments! Yes indeed, I used After Effects for those clips.
