Thank you for a wonderful year - The next Guide Training Session TBA

Historic Milwaukee Immersion Series

(formerly Guide Training)

If you enjoy Milwaukee’s history or like to share your interest in Milwaukee with anyone who will listen, then this course is for you! This course is offered to the public and you don’t need to become a guide to take this course . . . of course, we hope you’ll consider sharing your new knowledge!

Come join us for this 8 week course on the history of Milwaukee. Discover how architecture, business and a diverse cultural history formed this great city.

It’s an eight-week course held on Saturdays from 9 to noon. It formerly served as training for guides around the city, but we found that so many people wanted to know more about the city without necessarily becoming a guide.

If you want to become a guide, the class is required, but it no longer is just training for that.

We cover the architecture, Milwaukee’s social history, basically just everything that makes the city so special.

These sessions provide a wealth of information that covers architectural styles, Milwaukee history, preservation and so much more. Those who wish to become guides after the course are assigned to mentors; experienced guides who can provide valuable insight into tour giving and Historic Milwaukee. Walking tours and bus tours are conducted for participants to familiarize them with the city. And, of course, you get to meet a wonderful group of people who share in your enthusiasm for Milwaukee’s history and architecture.

This course sheds a whole new light on the city. Come join us as we bring the wonder of Milwaukee’s history and architecture to the public.

If you would like to participate in this course, please call or e-mail us with your name, address, phone number and e-mail address to Historic Milwaukee, Inc., 828 N. Broadway, Suite 110, Milwaukee, WI 53202. You can also call the office for more information at (414) 277–7795. Or e-mail us at histmilw@execpc.com
