Yankee Hill Tour

Welcome to Yankee Hill! The neighborhood is bounded by Wisconsin Avenue on the south, Ogden Street on the north, Water Street on the west and Prospect Avenue on the east. This choice, pioneer location on a bluff, high above the surrounding swamp land and open to the cooling breezes off Lake Michigan, saw its period of growth from the 1840s to the early 1900s. Learn about the history of Yankee Hill from Historic Milwaukee docents. Accessible, but tour is two hours of walking.

Dates and locations to be announced.
