Overview

Travel back in time and learn more about Wisconsin’s first company town.

Today, Bay View is one of Milwaukee’s areas but it was originally established in 1867 for workers at the Milwaukee Iron Company. The tour will explore houses built for labourers and managers and discuss the development of the mill and town before it incorporated into Milwaukee in 1887. Beyond residential streets, stops include important businesses, community spaces including the Beulah Brinton House (1871), houses of worship, and landmarks like the Pryor Avenue Iron Well (1882). The tour will also share immigrant stories from Welsh, English and later Italian families who established deep roots in Bay View.

This walking tour is 1.9 miles in length.

We recommend that travellers bring (weather permitting): good walking shoes, water, sun cream, and/or umbrella.
