MIDMORNING

Take the mile stroll on the Historic Third Ward Riverwalk along the Milwaukee River and imagine what 1800s commerce looked like among the restored factory and warehouse buildings. Circle around to Water Street and get your shopping on at national retailers and local stores from Water Street east to Broadway and Milwaukee streets.

The Historic Third Ward is 10 square blocks of Milwaukee’s past, present and future. Once a rough and tumble spot along the Milwaukee River, it rose from ruin — not once but twice — to become the arts and culture district it is today.

 

It’s Midwest Nice all the way.
