  Each chimney has a story of its own that means something special to the owner.  We will hear these stories during our historic and folk-art chimney tour.  There are hundreds of decorated Greendale original home chimneys! 

  

  The decor of the chimneys relates to many of Greendale's "alphabetized streets" All streets in the "A section" begin with the letter A, etc. So, apricots hang on Apricot Coutt chimneys... azaleas bloom on Azalea Court chimneys...berries ripen on Berry Court, and naturally, balsam branches on Balsam Court. Other sculptures reflect the homeowners' lives and personal experiences.

  Two Brewer fans, a couple married at Miller Park, sport a ball and glove logo on their chimney; a film director displays an old camera projector on his. Whether a lover of country, a beach comber, a bird watcher, or UW grad, each chimney has its own story, and you will discover many of them on our tour.

  Following lunch and some time in Greendale's Historic Downtown Center, we're off to The Milwaukee Art Museum is the largest art museum in the state of Wisconsin, housing a Collection of more than 30,000 works and hosting an impressive lineup of internationally regarded exhibitions. The Museum sees almost 400,000 visitors each year, with nearly 21,500 holding annual Museum memberships. The Museum's stellar art education program serves over 50m,000 youth each year through programs, tours, ad internships.

  Join us in Green Bay!  This is your opportunity to celebrate the rich traditions, heritage and culture that thrived long before our arrival. We recognize this Oneida land and affirm that we are better when we stand together.

  The Oneida Nation is originally from upstate New York. After the Revolutionary War, The Oneidas lost nearly 5 million acres of their original homelands to the birth of the United States and the state of New York. Their people began to relocate to Wisconsin. In 1838, the Treaty with the Oneida established the 65,400-acre Oneida Indian Reservation along Duck Creek. For nearly 200 years, they have lived here, a place they now call home.

  Experience the history through the exhibits of basketry, beadwork, contemporary art, music, children’s hands-on-area and other programming at the Oneida Museum. 

  We'll make a stop at Lambeau Field 1919 Kitchen & Tap for lunch.  You'll have a chance to visit the ProShop.  And don't forget, there will be a surprise stop during our day.

  Learn the rich history of the Mississippi River and all of its glory as we cruise the river. We will hear tales of the great Mississippi River’s past, present, and future. We will bask in the splendor of the wilderness of the Mississippi and witness for ourselves exactly how beautiful, powerful, and splendid the great Mississippi is.

  Following a lunch buffet, we will walk through the doors of Villa Louis, and step into the life of one of Wisconsin’s most historic families – The Dousmans. Located on the beautiful banks of the mighty Mississippi River, this National Historic Landmark offers a panorama of Wisconsin history, from the advent of the first fur traders to the War of 1812, through the splendor of the Victorian era. 

  In 1870, H. Louis Dousman contracted with the renowned Milwaukee architect E. Townsend Mix to design and construct a new home for the Dousman family. Mix chose the popular Italianate style and the use of Milwaukee pressed brick. When completed in 1871, the home boasted the modern conveniences of indoor plumbing and steam heat, making it comfortable as well as stylish. Today the mansion has been meticulously restored to its historic appearance, standing as a showcase of Victorian architecture and design.  

  Visiting Villa Louis offers rare access to earlier, lesser-known phases of Wisconsin history. The 25-acre site includes over a dozen historic structures filled with vibrant hues and rich textures reflecting the family’s rise to wealth and leisure.

  NOTE:  This day trip is limited to 49 participants between UWRA, PLATO, & Verona Senior Center.

  Burden earned his Ph.D. at The Ohio State University and was a faculty member at Harvard University before joining UW-Madison in 2006. He is affiliated with the La Follette School of Public Affairs, the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, and the Center for Demography of Health and Aging.

  This exhilarating Tony Award-winning musical that was born out of the tragedy of September 11, 2001. In the remarkable true story of COME FROM AWAY, what started as an average morning in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland turned into an international sleepover, when 38 planes carrying 7,000 people from around the globe were diverted to their airstrip. The travelers found themselves stranded in a small town far from home. Many of these passengers were in the state of shock and confusion because of the events unfolding in the United States. The story shows moments of fear and uncertainty, but also important moments of unexpected joy and friendship. 

  
  

  

  Undaunted by culture clashes and language barriers, the people of Gander cheered the stranded travelers with music, an open bar, and the recognition that we’re all part of a global family. Experience this joyous story with a dynamic score and a vibrant, fast-paced narrative as both hosts and visitors form friendships that will stay with them forever.

  The central message of the show is to celebrate the humanity shown by residents of Gander and its orbiting communities. They are just one example of the unsung heroes of 9/11 - showing that even in a time of immense crisis, the best of humanity can still shine through.
