Windhover Hall at the Milwaukee Art Museum is a must-see attraction. The hall features a stunning 90-foot vaulted glass ceiling, creating a breathtaking view. Visitors can enjoy this area of the museum without purchasing a ticket. It's the perfect spot to admire the architecture.
Today in Labor History February 3, 1910: Mary Harris "Mother" Jones addressed Milwaukee brewery workers during a two-month stint working alongside women bottle-washers while on leave from the United Mine Workers:
"Condemned to slave daily in the wash-room in wet shoes and wet clothes, surrounded with foul-mouthed, brutal foremen . . . the poor girls work in the vile smell of sour beer, lifting cases of empty and full bottles weighing from 100 to 150 pounds, in their wet shoes and rags, for they cannot buy clothes on the pittance doled out to them. . . . Rheumatism is one of the chronic ailments and is closely followed by consumption . . . An illustration of what these girls must submit to, one about to become a mother told me with tears in her eyes that every other day a depraved specimen of mankind took delight in measuring her girth & passing comments."
#OnThisDay in #history - in 1846, the Bridge Wars between Juneautown and Kilbourntown ended with the building of 3 bridges across the #Milwaukee River and a city charter combining the two towns into the larger city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The reason today why the road grids on either side of the river in #MKE don't match up (all bridges across the river have to go at an angle) stems from these two towns vying for precedence (and fighting. With cannons.) #OTD#histodons#USA@histodons
