Welcome to Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Welcome to Milwaukee Wisconsin

Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s largest city, is known for its German, Polish and Irish heritage, long history of brewing and manufacturing and identity as the heart of Wisconsin’s unique culture. Founded from three smaller Milwaukee River townships in 1846, Milwaukee has grown into its moniker, Gateway to the North. Top historic attractions include The Harley-Davidson Museum and factory where you can see the history of America’s iconic Harleys and take tours of Miller Brewing’s brewery, home of Miller High Life and, to a lesser extent, Pabst. Milwaukee is also home to one of the nation’s largest music festivals, Summerfest that starts in late June every year.
