The Milwaukee County Historical Society was founded in 1935 and has become the place for people to learn about and to celebrate Milwaukee. Through education programs, exhibitions, the research library, our historic sites, and special events, MCHS offers Milwaukeeans and visitors to Milwaukee a chance to connect with the heritage of Milwaukee. More than one million documents and photographs and more than 75,000 artifacts are preserved by MCHS and it is our hope to share these resources with the community.
The MCHS headquarters is located in a historic bank building along the Milwaukee River in downtown Milwaukee at 910 N Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. Drive (formerly North Old World Third Street). This location houses the museum, research library, offices, some collections storage and events and educational programs throughout the year.
