October Trip
Downtown Milwaukee
Thursday, October 15, 2026
Spend the day discovering two unique Milwaukee treasures!
Our first stop is the Grohmann Museum, where art and industry come together in fascinating ways. The museum is home to more than 2,000 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper depicting the evolution of human work—from farming and skilled trades to industry and technology.
In the afternoon, we’ll visit Milwaukee Urban Stables, home to the Milwaukee Police Department’s Mounted Patrol and a one-of-a-kind facility bringing together horses, community outreach, and equine-assisted therapy. We’ll learn about their mission and tour the impressive facility, including the 24-horse stalls and indoor and outdoor riding arenas.
Come along for a fun and fascinating day in downtown Milwaukee filled with art, history, horses, and great company!
