Event on Thursday, Walking Tours this summer, and don’t forget about the FREE house!
THURSDAY
May is Historic Preservation Month, and also a month where Wisconsinites begin to see flowers in our neighborhoods. To celebrate spring and Preservation Month, the Capitol Neighborhood Program Committee is holding the May program in Period Garden Park to honor both this beautiful park located at the corner of Pinckney and Gorham, and the historic area surrounding the park. Join us for an evening in the park as speakers provide us with a bit of information about this exquisite park and historic neighborhood. Thursday May 26 6:00 – 8:00 pm.
