WELCOME TO THE MILWAUKEE HISTORY CLUB!Who says clubs are just for kids? Being part of a club as an adult can be even more fun — especially one that lets us dig into the quirky, surprising, and fascinating stories of Milwaukee’s past.
This isn’t just a history club; it’s a social club. Come meet new friends, share some laughs, and explore unique venues across the city while uncovering the history beneath our feet.
Yes, we’ll have a plan to guide our adventures — but we also want the club to grow with your ideas. Think of this as 'your' club: shaped by curiosity, fueled by conversation, and always open to where the next story takes us.
