Coming December 4
Built on Water: Milwaukee’s Vital Resource
JOHN GURDA
at Discovery World, Center for Public Innovation
in the Digital Theater
 500 North Harbor Drive, Milwaukee, WI 53202

7 PM –  Doors open at 6:30 PM.  Limited seating.  Free of charge.

Lake Michigan and the rivers that feed it have been Milwaukee’s dominant natural resources since the days of the Potawatomi. Join historian John Gurda for a lively, illustrated look at the lake and its adjacent waterways. See how they served the community and how they have weathered a cycle of heavy use to emerge as focal points of both concern and celebration in the twenty-first century.

Parking is available in Discovery World’s heated underground parking structure for $8. Handicapped  parking is conveniently located near the elevator.  Additional street parking is available nearby.
PLEASE NOTE: There will be street closures due to the Hoan Bridge construction over the next couple of months. In order to better plan your visit to Discovery World, please see the I-794 Lake Freeway/Hoan Bridge Project Update.  KEEP UP TO DATE ON ALL CONSTRUCTION STREET CLOSURES/PARTIAL CLOSURES http://www.dot.wisconsin.gov/travel/road/workzones-se.htm
