The West Bend Theater opened its doors on November 26, 1929. It was promoted as “The Coolest Place in Town,” not only because of how beautiful and acoustically accurate it was, but also because it was literally the coolest place in town — it was one of the very first commercial buildings in the area to have a central air conditioning system. Join the staff from The Bend as they share interesting historical information about the building, its entertainment, and most recently, the $4.2 million renovation that was completed in March of 2020.
Milwaukee has always been a baseball town. While baseball historians and contemporary fans often overlook the Cream City's rich baseball tradition, the national pastime has been central to Milwaukee's culture since the Civil War. Although it has not always been a "big league city," Milwaukee has been home to many amateur and professional teams made up of Milwaukeeans across different ages, races, ethnic backgrounds, and genders. This presentation will recount Milwaukee's vibrant baseball history, focusing primarily on the various professional teams that called the city home.
