Yankee Hill Walking 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 1840-1910.

This tour starts at the “Leif the Explorer” Statue located within Juneau Park, East of the intersection of State St. and Prospect Ave.
