2024 History Tours w/ Milwaukee County Historical Society

We’re thrilled to partner with our friends at Milwaukee County Historical Society again this season, offering TWO DIFFERENT HISTORY TOURS, with six different dates and times to choose from throughout the summer.

Steve Schaffer, Archivist, and Michael Barera, Assistant Archivist and Digitization Specialist, from the Milwaukee County Historical Society, will guide us on our rivers through Downtown Milwaukee, the Harbor and Menomonee River Valley (depending on the tour) as we explore our rivers, our City’s history, the famous names, buildings and bridges that made Milwaukee, MILWAUKEE.

Our History Tours are paddled at a slower pace and we make stops along the way talking about the different sites we see along the way. We will also provide safety boaters to ensure a safe paddle thoughout the tour.

Book online now, or give us a text or call at 414-301-2240 to join a history tour!
