Milwaukee
Walk through Milwaukee’s former vice district as your guide leads you into the city’s Prohibition-era past.
Along the route, you’ll visit key locations tied to the 1920s vice district, where stories of underground operations, hidden dealings, and larger-than-life characters begin to unfold. The experience blends movement and storytelling, giving context to the streets and spaces that once defined this era.
Expect a guided walk with multiple stops, each revealing a different piece of the narrative—from the social scene to the realities behind it.
The tour concludes at Shakers, where guests are invited to continue the experience with a drink, dinner, or further exploration of the building.
This is an outdoor walking tour and operates rain or shine.
