Americans who are wisely planning their vacations for 2022 need to think of Milwaukee as a great destination where they can stay, have fun, and destress from their brutal work grind. At a time where some cities might look to simply maintain their level of prestige, Milwaukee is actively building towards the future while staying true to its roots. Major developments made in Milwaukee at the end of 2021 and beginning of 2022 prove this.
America’s Black Holocaust Museum
The Bronzeville neighborhood is a shining example of how Milwaukee’s future is built upon its foundation. The historic economic and social center of Milwaukee’s Black community has been revitalized by major improvements, like the February re-opening of America’s Black Holocaust Museum. Constructed on the ground that was home to the original America’s Black Holocaust Museum building for 20 years, the museum’s new space features multiple galleries dedicated to the Black history in America from 1619 to the present.
3rd Street Market Hall
3rd St. Market Hall, which also opened in early 2022, is Milwaukee’s newest food and entertainment venue. It is highlighted by a variety of high-end food vendors serving Milwaukee favorites like burgers, cheese curds, Friday fish fry, hot dish, pizza, custard, and other sweet treats. A massive neon sign and fantastic sports-viewing options make its bar stand out from the rest. Have fun at its Topgolf Swing Suite, two snookball courts, a gaming lounge, shuffleboard, backyard games, and the downtown’s first selfie museum, the Photoverse Selfie Museum.
Bradley Symphony Center
The Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra restored and renovated the historic Warner Grand Theater on West Wisconsin Avenue in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. Now named the Bradley Symphony Center, the orchestra’s new home marries state-of-the-art acoustics and modern accessibility with history and grandeur. As the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra likes to say, the Bradley Symphony Center blends “1930s ambience with 21st century amenities.” Now moved into the elegant facility, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra is open for exciting concerts throughout 2022.
Kinn Guesthouse Downtown Milwaukee
Kinn Guesthouse Downtown Milwaukee is right in the hustle and bustle of Milwaukee’s downtown and near the locally adored Historic Third Ward. It’s built to serve both the business and leisure traveler. Scheduled to open this spring, Kinn Guesthouse Downtown Milwaukee is the younger sibling of Kinn Guesthouse Bay View, a sleek spot in the trendy Bay View neighborhood.
George Marshall Clark Grave Marker
On Sept. 8, 1861, George Marshall Clark became Milwaukee’s only known lynching victim. In memory of the 160 year anniversary of his death, Milwaukee activists led the charge to place a beautiful new granite headstone at Clark’s previously unmarked grave. The George Marshall Clark Grave Marker is located in the city’s historic Forest Home Cemetery, where you can pay respects to Clark, Milwaukee’s great beer barons, and even the inventor of the typewriter.
