Join a local history expert for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Milwaukee’s incredible past.

Sail out to the Breakwater Lighthouse, scramble up the wings of the Milwaukee Art Museum, and dig up the city’s roots on the corner of Water Street and Wisconsin Avenue. Seize the chance to do a little urban spelunking and explore basilicas, burial grounds, and breweries. Ring the bell in the city hall tower, and take a turn around the secret indoor track at a Montessori school.
