Estabrook Dam Removal Party

DATE
Thursday, May 31, 2018

TIME
5:30PM – 8:00PM

After over 10 years of tireless dedication, the Milwaukee River at Estabrook Park runs free again! Milwaukee Riverkeeper joined with community members, fisherman, property owners and elected officials to fight for dam removal, and thanks to all of these efforts, the Estabrook Dam has finally been demolished! We want to bring all “Dam Warriors” together to celebrate this moment in our community’s history and mark this generational milestone for the Milwaukee River.  Please join us for an evening by the river and across from the former dam site, and hear from those who worked so hard to make Estabrook Dam removal a reality.
