MAKING
PRESERVATION
MAINSTREAM
MPA is a non-profit organization advocating for the protection and stewardship of Milwaukee's built heritage.
SAVING YOUR HISTORY
Milwaukee’s historic buildings tell the story of our city’s past, reflecting the craftsmanship, culture, and community that have shaped our neighborhoods. At Milwaukee Preservation Alliance (MPA), we work to ensure these irreplaceable places are protected for future generations.
Through advocacy, education, and hands-on support, MPA empowers residents and decision-makers to recognize the value of our built heritage. By preserving Milwaukee’s unique architectural character, we not only honor our history but also create a stronger, more vibrant future for all.
