Most people think of the Wisconsin Black Historical Society and Museum as a community meeting space, but it’s also one of the largest sources of visual history of Milwaukee’s African-¬American history. The National Railroad Museum in Green Bay has a refurbished 1920s Pullman Porter Sleeper Car. Tour the car and get an appreciation of how Pullman Porters helped shape the Civil Rights movement. The Milton House Museum was a part of the Underground Railroad that helped more than a hundred slaves reach freedom from Wisconsin. You can visit America’s Black Holocaust Museum from the comfort of your computer. Originally conceived by Dr. James Cameron, one of the few people to actually survive a lynching, the virtual museum brings African-American history to light.

The Cotton Club, Al Capone's Cicero Jazz Hot Spot As It Looks Today
Al Capone owned along w/brother Frank a number of speaks and bars in Cicero during the 1920's. None were as famous as the Cotton Club located at 5342 W. Cermak. The club was a real hot spot, a favorite with Chicago mayor Bill Harrison even though booze was being sold there. They were one of the few places where whites could come and see the top black performers of the day. Artists like Milton Mezzrow, Judge Hinton, Jelly Roll Morton, Duke Ellingon, King Oliver, Louis Armstrong and even Milton Berle got his start here.
Cicero was the scene of intense competition among Chicago's crime lords during the early 1920's with Torrio, O'Banion and the west side O'Donnell gang all controlling parts of the town.In the spring of 1924 Chicago elected a reformer William Deever mayor and he promised to put the screws to the bootleggers. Capone convinced Torrio it was time to expand into the suburbs and he had a plan to hijack the town of Cicero.
The video presented here is a part of ChiTownView's series Chicago Crime / Now & Then. We show what Chicago's infamous locations and gruesome crime scenes look like today and in the video description telling some of that history with each clip. From it's earliest days Chicago has been a hotbed of sin corruption and vice and those who controlled held money, power and influence. From the first whorehouses across the river from Ft. Dearborn to Big Mike Mc Donald, Hinky Dink & Bathhouse the Lords of the Levee, Big Jim Colosimo, Al Capone, Paul Ricca, Sam Giancana and countless others the story of Chicago is in many ways the story of vice and corruption and the fight against it.
We have used a number of sources in our research these are the main ones.
The Chicago Crime Scenes Project;
Mario Gomes My Al Capone Museum;
And where it all began for me the 1999 book by Richard Lindberg Return To The Scene of the Crime
We also have a Google map that includes our videos and locations we haven't shot yet.

Kiwi Rail Cross St Milton Railway Crossing
This is part of the Invercargill NZ to Dunedin NZ owned and operated by Kiwi Rail Group NZ
Family bike Ride (on our TREK bicycles) - Rails to trails #MoreKidsOnBikes
We had the opportunity to ride the Glacial River Trail as a family - started in Fort Atkinson and rode to the red covered bridge.
8.6-mile former railbed bike trail running south from downtown Fort Atkinson to the Jefferson/Rock County line. The northernmost 4.5 miles are asphalt paved, the balance is crushed limestone. This spectacular recreational attraction features an archway, bronze sculptures, rest areas and fountains, making it a relaxing and scenic walk or ride through Fort Atkinson.
The Glacial River Trail provides bikers, pedestrians, and in-line skaters with a 55.8-mile off-road/on-road rural route winding through farmland, prairie, wetlands, and woodlands as it passes through three counties in southeastern Wisconsin.
Technically, the southern endpoint begins in Janesville at Milton Avenue, where you can also pick up a segment of the 1,200-mile, hiking-centric Ice Age National Scenic Trail. Note that the closest dedicated trail parking is about 10 miles farther down the trail in Koshkonong. Heading north from Janesville on the Glacial River Trail, you’ll travel through Milton and rural countryside to Kosh-konong, where you’ll leave Rock County and head into Jefferson County. A quaint covered bridge greets you just after this crossing.
Open areas and woods serve as pleasant companions as you travel north along SR 26. Take a worthy side trip by heading west (left) at Koshkonong Mounds Road to Indian Mounds Park, which features 11 Native American effigy mounds and an ancient Indian trail. The mounds, large earthworks with religious or ceremonial origins, can be seen from the trail. Look closely to see the turtle and bird shapes identified by experts. The mounds are thought to have survived about 1,500 years.
About 16 miles into your journey you’ll reach Fort Atkinson. Note that just before reaching Fort Atkinson, the trail detours from the railroad corridor for about 1.5 miles, heading northwest and then east on Schwemmer Lane (under SR 26), and then right on Groeler Road, which meets up with the off-road trail again on the northern side of where SR 26 and SR 26 Trunk meet. Nearing busy Janesville Avenue, a low stone wall next to the path marks the Glacial River Rotary Depot, which offers a drinking fountain and covered picnic area.
You might detour three blocks east onto South Third Street West (where the trail crosses Janesville Avenue), turn right (south) onto South Main Street, and then head a block and a half (veering left) onto Whitewater Avenue to the Hoard Historical Museum. The museum is named after the Hoard family, who are behind the nationally distributed dairy farm magazine Hoard’s Dairyman. Exhibits of tools, textiles, and American Indian artifacts will get you up to speed on the area’s early fort history, European settlers, and American Indian culture.
At Lorman Bicentennial Park, you can access the Riverwalk, which takes you through the park and underneath the bridge across the Rock River. Head right along the Riverwalk to find quaint shops and restaurants.
Back on Glacial River Trail, continue north over the Rock River and through a beautiful metal archway. The paved pathway unwinds along the east side of SR 26 through Wisconsin countryside and over the Crawfish and Rock Rivers in Jefferson. After you go under the Jefferson bypass, look for a connection to the 53.4-mile Glacial Drumlin State Trail which heads west to Cottage Grove and east to Waukesha.
The trail then continues to Watertown and into Dodge County, using on-street and off-street sections, and ends at the southern terminus of the Wild Goose State Trail at SR 60 in Juneau.
Parking and Trail Access
The closest parking to the southern endpoint is in Koshkonong, about 10 miles north. From I-90, take Exit 163 toward WI 59 E., and head south, then east on WI 59, crossing the Rock River. After 2.8 miles, bear left at the Y onto County Hwy. N; go 3 miles, and then turn left to merge onto northbound WI 26/WI 26 Trunk. Go 1.7 miles, and then turn left onto County Line Road. Turn left onto Old Hwy. 26, and then make the first left into the parking lot.
To reach the northern endpoint from I-94, take Exit 267 to SR 26 toward Watertown, heading north. Go 18.9 miles, and take Exit 52 to SR 60, heading east. Go 1.7 miles, and turn left into the parking lot just past where the trail begins, with Junction Road on your right.
Railroads of Wood County
Local railroad historian, Keith Meacham, describes the development of the Wood County railroad lines that provided important means of both passenger and freight transportation. Timber resources Influenced the early development of logging railroads and as those resources were depleted caused lines to be abandoned.

Historic Mooreland Mansion in Kirtland, Ohio

Edward William Moore grave in Lake View Cemetery:
Historic Mooreland Mansion located on the campus of Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, Ohio.
Turn-of-the-century mansion was originally built as a summer home for the Moore family of Cleveland, Ohio in 1898.

By: Janet Podolak (JPodolak@News-Herald.com)
Mooreland Mansion, built in 1898 as the summer home for the family of transportation magnate Edward Moore, has been restored and is part of Lakeland Community College as an elegant wedding and meeting venue.
When Edward Moore had his Mooreland mansion built in 1898, it was his summer country home.
Designed by Edward Oviatt in neo-classical style and surrounded by more than 1,300 acres, including a working farm, the 44-room, 20,000-square-foot home allowed Moore's seven-member family to escape the heat of Cleveland in summer. He and his wife, Louise Chamberlain Moore, had five children: Margaret, Franklyn, Kathryn, Edward Jr. and Elizabeth.
The home was enlarged in 1906 by architect Milton Dyer, who later designed Cleveland City Hall. Landscape architect A. Donald Gray designed the layout of the first in-ground swimming pool in Lake County, fountains, rose gardens and a nine-hole golf course.
There also was a petting zoo area for the children, a tennis court and two orchards. Water for the swimming pool was pumped up from the Chagrin River.
