- Germans dominated Milwaukee like no other large American city. Their presence inhabits the city’s neighborhoods, from its buildings and place names to its parklands and statuary. Their influence also lives in the memories shared by local residents. Join Pabst Mansion for a special author talk presentation as the authors of a new book, "Germans in Milwaukee: A Neighborhood History," Jill Florence Lackey and Richard Petrie share these ground-level perspectives of the lasting German influence on the Cream City.
As a Midwest German-American, I love this. My people, on both sides were actually immigrants on the East Coast, who moved away from Pennsylvania and New York, to Iowa and Oklahoma. This is great stuff. danke schon for all your research and work to make this.
The quote about the gold and silver is interesting because in my family there was always this story about how when our family came over from Germany they took all their money in gold and sliver but, that it was lost at sea. I have no idea if that's true but, interesting
Interesting choice of music?
At the Landmark 1850 we have 2 pictures of the Landmark/New Coeln House on display. One from around 1912 to 1916 and one from 1904. If anyone knows of any others in existence that we could get a copy of we'd appreciate it. Thanks.
