On Friday, June 12, the Milwaukee County Historical Society is unveiling its brand new exhibition, “We The People: Milwaukee Stories of Immigration, Citizenship and Community.”

Inspired by the 250th anniversary of the United States, the new display aims to showcase and embrace the city’s long history of immigration and diversity via artifacts, educational resources, oral histories and more. It will also include an interactive timeline showcasing the city’s immigration history alongside national immigration laws and policies. The exhibition is planned to remain at MCHS for three years.
