Thomas A. Greene
About
Thomas Arnold Greene (born Rhode Island, 1827; died 1894) was an amateur geologist in Wisconsin, USA. He became successful in the retail drug industry in Milwaukee. He collected minerals and Devonian and Silurian fossils. His collection has the distinction of being the sole major nineteenth century Milwaukee area fossil collection to remain intact and in the area. Following his death, his heirs erected a fireproof building in 1913 to house his collection. Known as the Thomas A. Greene Memorial Museum, this building and collection were collectively designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993. The collection was later removed from the building, and is now maintained at Lapham Hall on the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee campus in a compactor storage system and on display in a small museum area.
