STOCKTON — The Stockton Heritage Museum invites all ages to an encore showing of the award-winning science adventure documentary “Decoding the Driftless”. The screening takes place at 2 p.m. on Feb. 15 at the Stockton Heritage Museum. 

“Decoding the Driftless” is a wild ride of adventure through the air, across rugged landscapes, on and under the water, through a secret underworld, and across time itself to explore and decipher ancient clues of archaeology, paleontology, geology, and biology of the Driftless Region, with its captivating scenic beauty. Learn why this one region, in the heart of America, is the only “island driftless region” in the world.

Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Tim Jacobson and the late George Howe of Sustainable Driftless and Rob Nelson of Untamed Science teamed up for a second time to produce a feature-length film on the amazing origins, diversity, and resources of the Driftless Region. The creative team also included Swedish filmmaker Jonas Stenstrom of Untamed Science, and six-time Emmy-winning wildlife cinematographer Neil Rettig. The team delivers extremely rare footage of natural phenomena and scenic beauty in the Driftless in a way never seen before.

Sustainable Driftless premiered a new film, Spirit of the Driftless: Preserving Our Legacy, in September 2025. Building on the success of the first film, this documentary takes the viewer on a journey through the landscape, exploring the land that escaped being crushed and flattened by Ice Age glaciers. The film informs viewers of the importance of preserving this unique landscape and culture. For information on purchasing either of the films, visit the Sustainable Driftless website at sustainable-driftless.org.
