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.
