Welcome to Milwaukee
Local historians attribute the name "Milwaukee" to a word derived from the Potawatomi tribe meaning "council grounds." The city's neighborhoods weave a patchwork of diversity, as characteristics of the German heritage blend with influences of many other cultures. Italian, Irish, Polish, African-American, and Hispanic neighborhoods, along with many ethnic restaurants and boutique shops on Brady Street and in the Third Ward, make up the fabric of Milwaukee. Historic churches, neighborhood shops, Victorian worker's cottages, and industrialists' castles abound and lend their neighborhoods a venerable air. In the face of all the progress, the traditions and values that make Milwaukee remain constant. The strongly held ideals of family, ethnic and cultural diversity, and warm hospitality, make Milwaukee a genuine destination and a great place to visit for our Bead&Button Show attendees. |
