Historic Third Ward is a turn-of-the-century neighborhood filled with historical ambiance and architecture. A former wholesale and manufacturing district first settled mostly by Irish immigrant laborers, and later replaced by an Italian community, today the area is experiencing a renaissance as a revitalized mixed-use neighborhood. The Historic Third Ward has a high concentration of art galleries, antique shops, restaurants, unique specialty stores, the Broadway Theater Center, the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, and the William F. Eisner Museum of Advertising & Design. A pedestrian-friendly neighborhood, the Historic Third Ward offers a walking tour that will take you on a journey of a vibrant neighborhood where past and present meet. |
