Historic Milwaukee's Doors Open Milwaukee has become a much-loved community weekend. It has grown quickly; from approximately 40,000 site visits the first year to more than 90,000 site visits. Created with the foresight of Historic Milwaukee staff and longtime volunteers, Doors Open Milwaukee is one of only five such programs in North America. Attendees visited the Gaslight Building, gazed out at Milwaukee from the top of the U.S. Bank building and learned about fresh water and Lake Michigan at Jones Island.

Historic Milwaukee is also well known for presenting the Spaces & Traces Annual Neighborhood Open House. Over the past 34 years, hundreds of volunteers have helped thousands of tour goers

become more familiar with the unique characteristics of dozens of historic areas in Milwaukee's richly textured neighborhoods. Tour attendees have been educated about the "historical traces" of areas as varied as the Third Ward, Yankee Hill, Lincoln Avenue, Bay View, Rufus King, Newberry Boulevard, Sherman Park, and Story Hill as well as the areas along the rivers in downtown, Brady Street, Riverwest, and Walker's Point.

Milwaukee is a city that respects and honors its rich architectural heritage but is looking ahead as well. An increasingly sophisticated workforce evaluates a range of lifestyle and community offerings when choosing where to live and work. Among the questions they consider: What kind of city do I want to be part of? What types of community events are available for me, my family and friends and visiting guests?
