When you think of Milwaukee, one of the first things that comes to mind is…BEER!  Schlitz, Pabst, and Blatz are all names of popular beers that originated in Milwaukee.  But do you know the history of the families behind these names?  These “Beer Barons” will come to life again as we explore the era when Wisconsin Avenue was lined with mansions built on yeast and hops.

A guide from the Milwaukee Historical Society will lead our excursion around Milwaukee looking at homes and historic buildings significant to that era.  We’ll take you to some out of the way places you didn’t know existed, and make some fun stops associated with Milwaukee’s biggest export.  On board games, music and contests will make this a lively tour you won’t forget.

Coffee and Continental will be served as we get underway.  We’ll mix in a great themed lunch and some fun foodie stops all day.  Join us for a fun look back at the past!
