Milwaukee Mobsters & Mafia Tour

Requiescat in Pace

The actions of the Father color the path of the child to death.

The Milwaukee Mobsters & Mafia Walking Tours are expected to commence on June 28, 29, 30 with longtime researcher, Marley Decker as your Tour Guide; starting at Shakers in Walker's Point and heading into the Bloody Third Ward.
This site is designed neither to extol the virtues, nor to decry the activities of Milwaukee's' often sordid past. Rather, this Tour shall site facts and legends alike.
You the tour-goer may decide which is which and which is some other guy.
Of course, being Milwaukee, dirty politicians must get in their share of licks and promises.
We promise you will not be disappointed.
However, do beware, as this is not a tour for the faint of heart, nor for children.
Always remember the words of the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover,
who in 1957 declared, "There is no Mafia in America."

Not to be confused with the mythical Black Hand Tour we shall begin in NOLA.
