The Milwaukee
Public Museum's holiday decorations will include a series of
photographs celebrating Milwaukee holidays in the early 20th
century. The photos were selected from the museum's collection
of Sumner Matteson photographs taken from 1909-'10. Photos
courtesy of Milwaukee Public Museum photo collection.
Ruth (Jahn) Renz and
her brother Carl celebrated Christmas in Mequon. Pickings were
slim in 1946, following WWII; Ruth's gift was the necklace she's
wearing and Carl's was a new sweater. Photo from the collection
of Ruth Renz.
The stage is
set for holiday activities at the Milwaukee Public Museum.
Family fun includes live music and dance from cultures around
the world, handcrafting ornaments and touring the "Streets
of Old Milwaukee" and "European Village" dressed
up in holiday decorations. Look in our calendar for a complete
