The Whorin’ 20’s Tour

Preferred by bachelorette and bridal parties for its bawdy and hip slant on life with stories as old as time itself. From opulent marble foyers for the landed gentry in top hats driving Dusenbergs, to commonfolk enjoying donkeys and horses in stables, Milwaukee was once the best convention city in the USA. In the late 1800s, the honorable Mayor David Rose allowed wide open prostitution, gambling, & opium – so long as it was contained to one area – making MKE one of the most sought-after destination cities of its time. Come on a story-telling journey along the River Walk, where we paint a true portrait of old Milwaukee from its sexy side, and meet some of the classiest brothel madams of yore.
