Doors Open Milwaukee - Menomonee Valley Tour

From Machine to Model

Saturday, September 20, 2014. First stop is the Menomonee Valley Tour. A 90 minute walking tour through an area just East of Miller Park and South of I94.

When Milwaukee was the Machine Shop of the World, the Menomonee Valley was its engine. Yet by the 1990's the Valley's legacy was lost amid hundreds of acres of vacant buildings, a forgotten river, and the north/south divide it symbolized in our community.  Today, the Menomonee is experiencing a transformation and has become a national model of sustainable redevelopment.

I rate this tour FIVE stars out of five!
