Milwaukee is widely known for its ample public beach space. But the lakefront was not always this accessible. In this episode of Water Works, produce Marisa Camacho explores how Milwaukee's abundance of blue spaces is in many ways a legacy of the Socialist Party's rise in the early 1900s.
Water Works is a production of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Department of History and the Milwaukee County Historical Society. For more information about the show, including photographs and documents from the era, check out milwaukeehistory.net/podcast/.
