PABST MANSION REVIEWS
A very impressive mansion. Beautiful detail throughout the house with mahogany, oak, birch wood etc. Gorgeous gold and satin walls. An amazing family one would appreciate. What a plus that many items are original to the house or have been returned or donated! Loved the experience. Carolyn was a great guide host!!!
A great historical place to tour. Some dates have guided tour, others are self-guided. You may want to reserve in advance as they cap max people by time slot for covid reasons. Through early January they have it decorated for Christmas, too. Amazing art, architecture, and decorations. You can easily spend an hour going through the 3 stories. Worth a tour and donations.
Barb was an amazing tour guide! She was funny, sweet, and last but not least informative. The Pabst Mansion is beautiful even with restoration still in the works. Will be returning and hopefully getting Barb as a tour guide again.

NORTH POINT LIGHTHOUSE REVIEWS
The lighthouse is located in Lake Park just off Wahl St. along Lake Michigan in Glendale, Wis. The historic lighthouse was originally built in 1855 and replaced in 1888. It is now on the National Register of Historic Places. There is a small fee to tour the lighthouse and the museum...well worth it. There are walking trails in back of the structure which will take you through a beautiful park along the lake cliffs. The parking is good there are clean restrooms available.
A great little spot packed with local history. Decently priced tickets, a must visit on any weekend visit. Be sure you're ready to climb up the lighthouse!
I recommend doing the light house tour. Gives you a great view of the city and Lake Michigan. The museum was pretty cool too.

North Point Water Tower is an iconic tower overlooking North Avenue from the east end of Lake Michigan. It was built in 1873 and 1874 as part of Milwaukee. The tower was built with Victorian Gothic styling and cover over an open standpipe that absorbed water pulsations from steam engines in the pumping station below the hill. The tower is made of the Hiram and Horace Story Quarry cream-colored cut limestone. It was one of the key works of the initial water supply scheme supplying 16 million gallons of water a day for Milwaukee. Visitors can Walk around the tower's center, across the four 'long, 135' high iron storage tank.

NORTH POINT WATER TOWER REVIEWS
I love the fantastic view of Lake Michigan and how the beautiful North Point Tower accents the enchanting surrounding landscapes of the wonderful east side of town. I think when you visit the area you will find it so peaceful and serene. I highly recommend that you check it out for yourself and see the magnificent view and landscape; along with taking memorable photos.
One of my favorite spots in the whole city. So much history. A bastion of hope for the city of Milwaukee. Where we have been, and where we will go. The North point tower is always shining down on all us.
Really cool architecture that rarely gets seen in a water tower nowadays. beautiful views of the Lake as well. this is a nice spot to check out if you have any interest in local history, or just like architecture in general
