~building coalitions of support for a long term restoration solution for the Domes and the Soldiers Home, ~advocating for preservation of Milwaukee’s important LGBTQ history sites, ~and more. As the weather heats up, so does our advocacy. Click below for our cheery Spring update! ![]() This Valentine's Day (or any day!) is the perfect time to show your favorite historic building and the businesses that operate in them how much you love and appreciate them. We've made it easy for you to share the love for the places that make Milwaukee special with our fun downloadable postcards. Just click the link below to download the postcards, print them out (card stock recommended), fill them in, and send them off (or even better, drop them off in person to see the look of joy your card will bring to the stewards of your favorite local historic building)! You can use the blank side to draw a picture, glue on a favorite photo of the building, make a collage, or anything that lets the building or business owner know how much they're valued and how much you appreciate the great care they take of their historic building. Maybe it's a fabulous Cream City Brick treasure where your grandparents used to take you, a Mid-Century Modern gem you just discovered, or a favorite legacy bar or restaurant? Just let them know how much you love them and their building and how much you'd miss it if they or their fabulous building were gone. Have fun, and send us a photo of your postcard or video of you hand-delivering it to [email protected]! Thanks for helping us spread the love for MKE's historic places!

In "Silver Linings" Jeremy writes about how we are aiming to make preservation mainstream here in Milwaukee. He also acknowledges what we can learn from not only our successes, but also our failures. He discusses the Forest Home Library, the Puddlers Cottages, Columbia Hospital, and of course the Soldiers Home. Check it out!
Heat wave! It’s been a scorcher out there this month, and we’ve been heating up our activity here at MPA too. Our long standing advocacy for the incredible Mitchell Park Domes and the National Historic Landmark Soldiers Home campus continues, but we serve as a resource for preservation projects all over the city as well. And it’s about to get even busier next month with Membership Month upon us!
