Each year, Historic Milwaukee, Inc. honors individuals and organizations that have a strong history in Milwaukee and have made exemplary contributions to the city’s heritage and the built environment.
Sponsors support Historic Milwaukee’s mission to increase awareness of and commitment to Milwaukee’s history, architecture and the preservation of our built environment. Proceeds help make programs like Doors Open and Spaces & Traces possible.
