This is attached to the Pabst Mansion but was originally located in the Arts and Manufacturing Building as part of the World's Columbian Expo in Chicago in 1894. Pabst's beer won a blue ribbon at the Expo hence the catch phrase. Ironically, the beer pavillion served as a private chapel for the Archbishop when the mansion was donated to the Catholic Archdiocese in the early 1900s.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/pabst-pavilion/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/pabst-pavilion/ Mon, 05 Oct 2009 11:54:20 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/pabst-pavilion/ 43.03925188 -87.93777555 <![CDATA['Norway Pavillion']]>

Wade House Stagecoach Inn
[Info] [GM] [BM] [YM]
By: milwhcky
@ 2009-09-07 10:55:07
Owned by the Wisconsin Historical Society, this 240 acre site gives visitors a glimpse of what life was like in the mid-1800's.

In 1844, the Wade family settled in this uninhabited area with plans to build a village. Their new home was located along a stagecoach trail between Sheboygan and Fond du Lac. Soon after arriving, they expanded their log home to provide a place for travelers to stay overnight. In 1850, they opened this larger Greek Revival-style inn to accommodate increasing traffic through their growing village.

In addition to the inn, the property features a sawmill, blacksmith shop, carriage museum, and a gift shop. Special events include reenactments of 1860's baseball games and an annual Civil War Weekend.]]>

The Nite Owl calls itself the Home of the Jumbo Burger, and there used to be signs posted in the dining room that the Jumbo was “the largest post-war hamburger in the area.” In fact, the Jumbo is not all that huge, but it is a lovely lunch-counter paradigm, just hefty enough to be a modest meal as a single, or a veritable banquet on a bun if you order a Double Jumbo. It comes on a toasted bun and is available either plain or under a heap of fried onions, with or without a mantle of cheese.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/nite-owl-drive-in/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/nite-owl-drive-in/ Sun, 30 Aug 2009 10:23:56 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/nite-owl-drive-in/ 42.95927300 -87.89842500 <![CDATA[Maple-Oregon Bridge]]>

Over 125 members of the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame are honored with plaques along the sidewalk east of the U.S. Cellular Arena. After the Hall of Fame was formed in 1951, a plaque for each member of the Hall was displayed inside of the Arena.

By the late 1990's, the Arena was running out of room for more plaques as the Hall's membership grew. In 2001, the plaques were moved to their new outdoor location where they could be viewed by everyone.

The Pfister is Milwaukee's most regal address, having hosted every U.S. president since William McKinley and scores of celebrities who can take a self-guided tour of the hotel's Victorian art collection. Today, it's the place to stay for upscale business travelers and out-of-town visitors, including many Major League Baseball teams. Commissioner Bud Selig, a Milwaukee native, is a frequent visitor.

But some players don't care for the 116-year-old hotel's posh accommodations and reputation for privacy. They swear it's haunted.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/baseball-players-fear-haunted-hotel/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/baseball-players-fear-haunted-hotel/ Fri, 10 Jul 2009 15:34:06 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/baseball-players-fear-haunted-hotel/ 43.03930300 -87.90609200 <![CDATA['Van Tamlen House' by Frank Lloyd Wright]]>

This theater was created for the S.C. Johnson & Son exhibit at the New York World's Fair in 1964-65, during which it showed the award winning film "To Be Alive!"

After the Fair ended, the theater was brought to S.C. Johnson's headquarters in Wisconsin. Frank Lloyd Wright was commissioned to create a new structure for the theater at the SCJ complex. It reopened to the public in July 1967.

Today, the theater is used for corporate conferences and community organizations.

This automotive testing grounds was built from 1944-47 by the Nash-Kelvinator Company. It is located about 25 miles from the former Kenosha (WI) Nash auto plants. In the mid-1950's, Nash eventually became AMC (American Motors), who continued to use this facility.

Chrysler purchased AMC in 1987 and sold this property in 1988 to the MGA Research Corporation, who uses the proving grounds for the automotive, motorcycle, rail, and aircraft industries. MGA added off-road tracks for truck and military vehicle testing in the 1990's.

In June 1885, 19 year-old school teacher Bernard J. Cigrand held the first recognized formal observance of Flag Day at the Stony Hill School.

A year later, while attending dental school in Chicago, he wrote a newspaper article proposing an annual observance of the birth of the United States flag. He spent much of his life promoting this idea and eventually became president of the American Flag Day Association. He made over 2,000 speeches on patriotism and the flag.

While not an official federal holiday, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation establishing Flag Day as an annual national event in 1916.]]>

Wood National Cemetery is located on the grounds of a former Soldiers Home that today is called the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center.

From 1867 until 1871, the home buried its soldiers in private cemeteries in the Milwaukee area. In 1871, a cemetery opened on the grounds. Originally known only as Soldiers Home Cemetery, it wasn’t until 1937 the name was changed to honor General George Wood, a longtime member of the Soldiers’ Home’s Board of Managers. It became a national cemetery in 1973.

Through 2008, there have been 38,193 burials here.]]>

The company was founded in 1917 as the Wisconsin Duplex Auto Company and was created to build a severe-duty four-wheel-drive truck. The first prototype was built, and upon its strengths as a vehicle, the company began to take off. This first four-wheel-drive truck is known today as Old Betsy. It is still owned by Oshkosh Corporation and housed in one of its assembly plants in Oshkosh. Old Betsy still runs and is used frequently in demonstrations and parades.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/oshkosh-corporation/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/oshkosh-corporation/ Mon, 25 May 2009 05:38:47 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/oshkosh-corporation/ 43.99409600 -88.54248800 <![CDATA[Sylvania Airport (C89)]]>

Several communities along this river dealt with two substantial floods in 2008. The first flood came after a near record season of snowfall melted in March. Several days of heavy rainfall in June caused a more serious flood, which lingered for weeks.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/flooded-homes-along-the-rock-river/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/flooded-homes-along-the-rock-river/ Wed, 04 Feb 2009 19:49:11 -0800 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/flooded-homes-along-the-rock-river/ 42.70180300 -89.03460600 <![CDATA[Harley Davidson Museum]]>
