Walker's Point is Milwaukee's oldest neighborhood. Of the three settlements that made up pioneer Milwaukee, it is the only one that has retained both its name and key aspects of its original appearance. Some residents, in fact, describe their neighborhood as a "living museum" of housing types and styles dating from the city's earliest years. That fidelity to the past has made Walker's Point a magnet for preservationists, but it is a vital human community as well. It is the blend of old and new that makes Walker's Point a special place for residents and visitors alike.
