Milwaukee history museum highlighting Americana in the 1910s-1940s as well as the people, businesses and city of Milwaukee. Each room in the 150 year old historic house, is a diorama of authentic items from the time period to recreate the stores and daily life of the average citizens. Interactive exhibits include a vintage Ice Cream Parlor, a Political Exhibit (that changes every year), the Grafman Grocery Store, a quirky Bayview Pharmacy, the Saxe Theater, a hidden Speakeasy and more. Functioning crank telephones, an outdoor weight scale, victrola and a player piano can all be tried with supervision. You may explore on your own or take advantage of guided tours. Exhibits change every few months at a minimum and you never know what new “old” items that you might explore that day!
Open Year Round Monday-Saturday from 10am-4pm, Sunday noon-4pm.
A 501(c)3 Non-Profit Museum that accepts donations.
