Presented by:  Prof. Steven Hauser

​

Join us for an OWLs luncheon featuring retired history professor, local author, and longtime Elm Grove resident Stephen K. Hauser! His presentation, “Following the Trail: The Origins of Blue Mound Road,” will take us on a fascinating journey from an ancient Indigenous trail to the busy road we know today. Drawing from his book, Following the Trail: A History of the Elmbrook Area, he’ll share stories of Brookfield, Goerkes Corners, and Elm Grove. Discover how generations of travelers, pioneers, and growing communities helped shape this familiar route. Whether you’ve lived here for decades or are new to the area, this program offers a chance to connect with our community’s past. You may never look at your next drive down Bluemound Road quite the same way! Come enjoy lunch, fellowship, and a fresh look at the history right in our own backyard.
