Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center “Remember the Past, Transform the Future.” The museum is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Holocaust by honoring the memories of those who were lost and by teaching universal lessons that combat hatred, prejudice and indifference. The 65,000-square-foot Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center, which opened April 19, 2009, is a culmination of 30 years of hard work by the local Holocaust survivor community. A theme throughout the building is the journey from darkness to light, explicit in the exterior’s starkly divided dark and light wings, and carried out as the visitor travels though the interior.

Historical Mequon - Freistadt Settlement and Jonathan Clark House

Milwaukee has a strong German heritage, but Freistadt (“Free City”), in western Ozaukee County, is actually the oldest German community in Wisconsin. It was settled in 1839 by the Pomeranian of the Baltic Sea region. The heart of Freistadt, Trinity Lutheran Church, is the oldest Lutheran church in the state and was built when Wisconsin was still a territory. Step back in time and explore the log buildings of this quaint little community, including an old-time hardware store and inn. We’ll have lunch at the Landmark Inn and then travel a few miles to Jonathan Clark House. Surrounded by 2 1/2 acres of scenic woodland, the house is one of the most architecturally historic buildings in southeastern Wisconsin and is a key part of Mequon and Thiensville’s rich history. The beautiful Greek Revival home was built by Clark in 1848 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
