Description

From the mid-19th to the mid-20th century, Milwaukee, Wisconsin was a powerhouse of leather production. At one point, it was home to several dozen tanneries, registering it as one of the largest sources of leather in the entire world.

Today, Milwaukee is a very different city, though a handful of tanneries still exist there, including the Seidel Tanning Corporation. Seidel sits near the banks of the Milwaukee River, and since 1945 they have produced specialty leather for customers of all kinds through four generations of family ownership.

Join us for a special tour of the Seidel Tannery, followed by happy hour at Artbar from 4:30-6:00pm.
