Jeffrey Lentz – Office Manager

Jeffrey Lentz first visited Mid-Continent at age 3 which helped spark a life-long interest in railroads. He joined Mid-Continent first as a ticket agent beginning in 2001, then moving to the train crew in 2004. Lentz continued volunteering while attending college, earning a Bachelors and Masters degrees in Geography, with research emphasis on the use of geographic information systems in support of transportation safety.

Lentz was invited to join Mid-Continent’s administrative staff in 2010. His work is often behind the scenes on tasks like accounting, marketing, museum publications and digital communications, and coordinating employees and volunteers, although you can still frequently catch him working aboard the train as a conductor or giving museum tours.

Becca joined the administrative staff in May of 2023. She attended Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design where she earned a BFA in Illustration, with an emphasis in illustration and graphic design. Becca enjoys honing her craft and utilizing her creative nature in her everyday work. You can often catch her working on the Museum’s latest graphic design project, accounting, or brainstorming new ways to tell Mid-Continent’s story through social media.

Becca aspires to shine a spotlight on Mid-Continent and its wonderful volunteers and members.

Megan Harrison – Office Assistant

Megan has many years of guest services experience at various front desks including Hyatt Place, Wyndham Vacation Ownership at Glacier Canyon, The Wilderness Resorts, and she spent a few tax seasons at H&R Block. She has also spent time waitressing at many diners and eateries in the area including The Garden Party Café, Little Village Café, Log Cabin Family Restaurant, and most recently the Four-Star Family Restaurant, where you’ll still find her working part time during their Friday night Fish Fry. She grew up in Mishawaka, Indiana, and spent two years studying Graphic Design at Ivy Tech Community College, and then moved back “home” to Wisconsin in 2009, found work in Wisconsin Dells and fell in love with Baraboo and the surrounding area. She has been with her husband Dean for 14 years and they have two kids together; Morgan, who is 12, and Leona, who is 7. They are both on the autism spectrum and their son Morgan is profoundly deaf. She says the kids have opened their minds and hearts to a whole new world and the unique parenthood experience has been an unexpected blessing in disguise, to say the least.
