Current Day Trips and Social Events
Two Firehouse Tours in Milwaukee
Apr 10 | 10 am - 4 pm
A Coach Bus Trip - Members and guests may register now.
Register by Apr 1. 40 spots available
Take a docent-led tour of the former firehouse of Engine Company 23 and Truck Company 14. Today it houses The Milwaukee Fire Department's Historical Society & Museum, founded in 1981. Visit the oldest fire station in Milwaukee, Engine Company #1, that originally housed the headquarters for the entire fire department until 1895, still in service today. When a bomb exploded in the Central Police Station across Wells Street in 1917, the firehouse trembled from the blast, but was the first to respond. Lunch at the Omega Restaurant.

What do you get when you cross Emma Goldman, Clarence Darrow, a debutante bomb-maker, Bay View's Italian "anarchist" mill workers, an excommunicated Roman Catholic priest turned Third Ward Methodist missionary, and one of the kangaroo-est courts ever convened? This is a can't-miss world premiere, in which four actors valiantly and hilariously strive to make sense of one of the most complicated and impactful moments in Milwaukee history: the 1917 bomb explosion inside the Oneida Street police station.
