## About

One last holiday season in the museum's walk-through Streets of Old Milwaukee and European Village. In the Streets, Victorian-era decorations adorn the streetlamps and buildings while classic carols play; in the Village, nine of the homes show traditional holiday items from different European heritages. Children can compare how families celebrated in different countries and eras. Included with museum admission.
