EXHIBITIONS
MCHS Exhibits are open Monday, Wednesday – Saturday from 9:30am – 5:00pm. We close early on select Saturdays, so we advise calling ahead.
Meet MKE
Now on exhibit.
Meet MKE is the newest permanent exhibit at the Milwaukee County Historical Society. What comes to mind when you think of Milwaukee? Maybe beer, cheese, and baseball? How about factories and hard work?
Milwaukee is all of these things and so much more! Take a whirlwind tour through Milwaukee’s past. Along the way, you’ll meet the people, visit the places, and learn about events that shaped modern Milwaukee County.
Additionally, the Meet MKE exhibit will feature the history of a different Milwaukee County neighborhood or town annually as a part of the exhibit’s expansion. The first neighborhood featured is…the Menomonee River Valley.
Brew City: The Story of Milwaukee Beer
Now on exhibit.
Detailing the history of brewing in Milwaukee County, the exhibit explores the local culture of beer and its evolution over time. Featuring artifacts, photographs, documents, audio, and visual media from the extensive MCHS Brewery Collection visitors will get to experience why Milwaukee truly is Brew City.
