More about the Menomonee River Valley:
This year marks a milestone of 20 years of redevelopment and revitalization in Milwaukee’s Menomonee River Valley. This SideWAUKee invites you to explore this award-winning area of Milwaukee that has been transformed from Wisconsin’s most visible eyesore to the thriving eco-focused business and recreational destination it is today. When Milwaukee was the "Machine Shop of the World," the Valley was its engine with heavy industry that left its mark on the land. Through community efforts, this area has become home to good jobs and careers, public art that honors history and culture, and trails and parks that welcome 100,000 visitors each year while improving the area's biodiversity also protecting water quality in Lake Michigan. We're certain this SideWAUKee will leave an impression and change how you experience the Valley!
